List of October Bansters

[LarraineM 6]

Good Morning to all, I was banded on 10/15/09.So far my restriction is still pretty tight. I ve lost 31 lbs so far. I have visited my Doc once with of course many complaints...I just get weak feeling,flutters in my chest. He sent me to the hospital just for a quick ck in emergency room. My body is just a big protestor of the starvation mode haha ! My biggest surprize in the ER was the doc said he wanted to show me something..he liffted up his scrub shrit to notice the marks of a banded person. He was 6 months out 50 lbs liter and feeling great. What a comforting site:lol:

I was banded on 10-12-09. I also had a hiatal hernia repaired as well. A week after surgery the Dr. took out what little Fluid I had in my band because I could not get more than a sip or two of Water down at a time. It was really aggravating my hernia operation too. So now I am completely unfilled and waiting on my first fill, next week thank goodness! Fortunately, the 4 weeks on a liquid diet has helped me with not being able to overeat, but without any restriction, I have had to monitor how much I eat on my own.

I am loving the band, and will love it more when I get my first fill. 25 lbs down, more to go.

Banded 10/28, had my first fill today. It was really creepy to have a huge needle inserted into your tummy and not really feel it. I have lost about 20 pounds plus or minus. I am real happy with the band now that the left chest pain has finally faded.

Wow! 34 pounds?? Great job~! I was banded October 10th and I have only lost 20 pounds. Should have had a fill 2 weeks ago but chickened out. Since then I havent lost any weight because I havent started going to the gym yet and I havent been eating the best ( getting paid once a month kills me the last 2 weeks of the month since I have to pay off the surgery, students loans etc). Can't wait for my first fill on Saturday and getting paid on the 25th means gym and better eating :bored:

I thought it was a little soon myself for a fill, but the DR said I was progressing nicely. Another thing that makes a huge factor is the distance, I have to drive for 2 hours to get to the hospital. It was really cool when they let me do my post-op interview over the phone. With the chest pain I did not feel like driving.

Couple of things I have noticed though. Today I am sick to my stomach, and I am trying to get a Protein Shake down (Liquids after fill) and my hands are shaking. Not noticebly unless I am holding the glass close to my face and I have a terrible headache. But, maybe I picked something up at the hospital which is possible. Oh well, I am getting happier by the day when I see the Wii fit scale count my BMI Down !!!!!
