cheryl1952 0 Posted November 1, 2008 All together I have lost 20lbs. I had surgery October 8th but that is also including the time before I was having tests ran before surgery. Remember guys this is not a quick fix this is a tool. You don't want to lose fast because it is much healthier this way 2 or 3 lbs at a time. Pick up the exercise and while eating less we are destined to lose. I am very happy right now and look forward to being alot healthier in the future. At least I am trying now. Good luck to all of you who have had your surgeries and those who are getting ready for surgery. It is a blessing to be able to have this surgery and it gives me hope.

dirigo 0 Posted November 14, 2008 Hi Sherri: I'm so glad you are doing better!!!! Congratulations on losing another three pounds. My wife was banded on 9/30 and has had two fills so far. She didn't feel any difference after the first and only a little difference now. I was banded on 10/29 and get my first fill next Friday. My surgeon keeps stressing the importance of not starving myself. He said the body goes into starvation mode and it will make losing wait after the fills much harder. Take care and enjoy this dreary day in the northeast. Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

endlessdreams_x 0 Posted October 28, 2009 Yay I get to join the people of already been banded now! As of 10/26/09 (Monday) I was banded! I cant believe the day finally arrived! I'm so sore, but so thankful I chose to take this step in my life! From the pre-op diet, I was already down 18.6lbs total. My goal by christmas is 30lbs total. Anyone think that's too outrageous of a goal? Just curious! :thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
