weightshaker 12 Posted October 6, 2005 Hi Carrie and all you other Aug. bandsters. I am doing great, 7 weeks post op today and I have lost 22 lbs, still have not gotten a fill don't think I need it yet, as I have lost everyweek but 1, so will see how long I can go. I am feeling so great, lots of energy, and I seem to be in a much better mood most of the time. I really am loving my band. I am not hungry very often and that is a major change for me. Hope you are all doing good also!! Shelley, Dallas, OR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haygal 0 Posted October 6, 2005 Hi, Carrie and other August banders. I will have my first fill tomorrow. I need it as I am eating a little too much. Haven't lost anymore weight, but I am so glad that I got this band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
showboatgirl 0 Posted October 6, 2005 I went to the doctor yesterday (Oct 4, 2005). I lost 21 pounds. I didn't want a fill yet because I am still losing. I will go back in a month and will probably get a fill then. Isn't it great to be losing weight? I can't say that I love my band yet--but I am starting to like it a lot. I feel great!

divaliciousdee 0 Posted October 6, 2005 Hi all! I go today to get a fill! I have been losing every week fine but I can eat more than the 3 or 4 oz per meal. I have lost 24.5 lbs as of yesterday I hope it read 25lbs at the doctors office. I am really concentrating on Portion Control so that may indicate I need a fill. I dunno, the doc will have to tell me. I will let ya'll know what happens! Great sucess to us all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haygal 0 Posted October 6, 2005 I get my first fill today also. Good luck to you and to me! I need more restriction! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nickie456 0 Posted October 6, 2005 Hi everyone, I have been doing good. I think it's time for another fill. I can eat way more than the 4oz the doctor suggested. I'm going to try and wait two more weeks because it's so far to go for my fills. I have 2cc now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nickie456 0 Posted October 6, 2005 Carrie, how much of a fill do you have now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
divaliciousdee 0 Posted October 6, 2005 I didn't have a fill, the Doc said I didn't need a fill. I have steadily lost at least 3-4lbs a week. He said if it ain't broke don't fix it. The great news is that I was at 311lbs this morning that is 25lbs gone bye-bye! I am so thrilled. I have my next appointment in 4 weeks. If I have stopped losing steadily by then we will do the fill thingy if I am still losing he said no fill until I am at a standstill. I feel great as long as it is coming off I am cool. I love Shaquita(my band)! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
