POMA 3 Posted March 25, 2009 (edited) 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: Edited March 25, 2009 by POMA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aurelia 2 Posted March 26, 2009 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?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
POMA 3 Posted March 26, 2009 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jenfs5 19 Posted March 30, 2009 HI, I am 33 single, no kids, and live in Maryland. I am not bandedyet, but am scheduled to be banded April 16th. So how is life for you two newly banded? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
POMA 3 Posted March 30, 2009 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bennar 0 Posted April 10, 2009 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
