Hello all,

It is so sad because I still have not lost any weight and I even have gained:(

I had my surgery on 2/1/10 and have had 2 fills so far, I am at 7 ccs now and not much restriction!

I am going back for a third fill next week. This is really frustrating me.

How is everyone else doing?

I am kinda in the same boat. I was banded on 9/30/09. I have only lost 22lbs. Not losing but gaining, have gained 5lbs back. Talked to Dr. and he said band at 8cc may be too tight for me so I went last week and had an unfill of 1cc. I can tell that food is no longer gettin stuck but not sure about losing any more weight! I only had 50lbs to lose but I would like to lose it! Good luck! I can say however that I no longer have high blood pressure or heartburn/acid reflux or migraines! That alone to me is worth it!

I'm barely feeling the band there at all on post-op day #11. I'm freaking out!

What do you mean that you are barely feeling the band at all? I am post-op #7. I have been cooking soups for my family so I can at least have some broth with them. Last night I made a chicken chili soup, it was amazing! good luck

Hi, Soon2Bslim! I don't have exactly the same surgery date as you do, but I am being banded on Sept. 29th - so I'm sure I'll see you there. Are you coming with a companion or by yourself? I'll be by myself - I'm at the Lucerna right now but am considering switching, since it seems like more OCC bandsters will be at the Marriott - I haven't decided yet. Best of luck to you in your new life!

I am traveling with my husband, we come in on the 29th. We are staying at the Mariott. Good luck!

Carolyn just scheduled me for September 29th!!! Yaaay!

I am scheduled for the 30th, will be arriving the 29th. We are staying at the Mariott! Good luck!

I am scheduled for September 30th, I am staying at the Mariott. Anyone else with this surgery date?
