34 days post surgery, 13kgs (28lbs) down...

[BandedMarch2009 0]

Hi everyone

Just found this site and it looks like it's going to be very useful.

I was banded on 4 March 2009 and so far I've lost 13kgs (28lbs).

Most of that loss was right after surgery and I haven't lost much in the last 2 weeks (only 1-2kgs). I think that's because I've been on solids for the last 2 weeks (I know I'm bad but I was getting so hungry and my dietitian sort of OKed it). I have almost no restriction and can eat ANYTHING. I've not had any problems with getting anything down or making it stay down (save one time when I think I ate too fast and it hurt when it was going down, but it DID go down and it stayed down).

I have my 1st post-op appointment with the bariatric GP. In the last few days I've been experiencing and strange feeling in my chest and throat but the funny thing is, it comes and goes and usually goes when I eat. I'm going to ask the GP about this tomorrow - hope it's nothing untoward, like a slip (argh!)

Looking forward to getting to know you all and interested in making some Bandster friends from Adelaide (and beyond).
