Hi everyone!!!! My name is AMY!

I just my lapband on December 22, 2008.

I decided to get on the forum and reach out to others.

I am a little dissappointed b/c I haven't lost anything since my surgery. It's been 10 days and nothing. I am a little annoyed. Is this normal?

I look forward to making new friends!!

Amy

Are you still on liquids? Many people don't lose, or lose but then regain, during the average 6-week post op healing phase...and often people don't lose, or gain a little, (unless they intentionally diet) until they get restriction. What's happening with you isn't uncommon.

Hi Amy,

I am in Houston as well. Which doctor banded you?

Did you lose any weight on your pre-op diet?

If you are following doctors orders in terms of post-op diet, there is a possibility that you are retaining Water from the surgery. How much water are you drinking a day?

Hang in there. If you follow dr's orders, the pounds will fall off.

Hey there - Dr. Hollis was my surgeon. I went through True Results.

Hello I am in Houston also. Good luck with your new friend. I have named mine, Burppa, because I burp alot!! I was banded 11-20 at Methodist Hospital. Great doc, Great care is what it is all about. I have been able to loose 22lbs since surgery but now at a standstill, but I know it will come. I will not allow myself to get on the scale except once a week that is all. Be sure to take pictures at one month etc. that is where I can see a difference. GOOD LUCK

I am in Conroe and was banded in Houston on 12/9

have not lost anything as far as I can tell but am eating so much less food

I think the Mexican and Chinese food restaurants in the Woodlands are going out of business b/c I no longer eat there

Hi Amy,

It's been a couple of days since you posted. How is it going? any movement on the weight loss?

Hehe - I know right I think the McDonalds by my apartment must think I died. I ate there almost every other day.
