Single,31,no kids, lookin for bandster friends



Recommended Posts

Hey ya'll,

I am 31, sigle, no kids, lookin for bandster friends around my age. It would be nice to go through this journey with someone that just plain old understands what I'm going through ya know? :w00t: I live in the San Fernano Valley in Southern Cali.

Anyways, I was banded 02-24-09 and I have only lost 10 lbs so far and I'm a bit upset about it. Is this normal? I have not had a fill yet, so maybe that's why? :tt1:

Hey! I'm 32 from South Florida and was banded a week ago (3/18/09). I'm also looking for bandster friends around my age.

When do you go in for your first fill??

Congrats! I wish you well. How are you feeling?

I go in for my first fill 04-13-09. My surgeon cancelled my last appointment last saturday for my first fill, he is on vacation, so I will have my first fill 7 weeks after surgery.

Maybe after I will have restriction and start losing. I guess it doesn't help that I haven't been working out much and eating kinda fatty foods.

For me, I am going through a lot of ups and downs. I was depressed right after the band, and now I am ok. Everyone experiences different things ya know. I can't wait for my first fill to see a difference.

I wish you luck on your new endeavor. Keep in touch.

HI Poma,

Today is i month after surgery and I'm feeling good. I recently started to feel hungry again and get cravings ... so I am looking forward to my first fill on the 22nd. Since surgery I have lost 18 pounds ... but lately i have been getting really painful tummy aches. Have you experienced anything like that? maybe im eating to much or to fast.

How are you feeling?

Thanks for starting this thread... Its a great idea :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
