New Bander!

[MrsShannonDennis 10]

Hey guys! I have been using this website for quite sometime now getting answers to all my question when I was considering surgery and support since I have had it.

Well I was finally banded on June 16th, 2009. I am currently 16 days out. I just moved onto my "soft food" stage 2 days ago and am DOING SO MUCH BETTER now that I can have stuff that sticks. My first fill is in about 4 weeks (beginning of Aug).

I am from Bakersfield, CA and Dr. Irani did my surgery! Surgery was very smooth. No complications at all. I am healing well. It only took a good week before I was really back to normal. Now at 2 weeks I feel like I never went under the knife.

I started at 253 lbs. I only lost 8 pounds pre-diet on liquids. I have lost 12 since surgery (16 days ago). I lost all 12 within the first 10 days after surgery. I am holding strong right now at 233 lbs.

Can't wait to finally join in your discussions!
