Hey CandyJo~ I'm doing fantastic..thanks for asking =) I am at a stand still right now so I have scheduled my 2nd fill for August 27th =) How are you doing? I see you got your second fill in June, do you have more restriction with it? I didn't have any restriction with my first fill =( I am keeping my fingers crossed that the 2nd fill is better! Take care and thanks for check...

is so glad I got banded, but even after my first fill the first part of June I have no restriction yet...I will go back in August for fill #2 =)

Something that was stressed to me was to be sure to get plenty of liquids. You don't want to get dehydrated! Every person is different as far as pain levels and yes to me the gas was the worst. But if I were to describe my pain level it was just mild discomfort and on a scale of 1-10 it would've been a 3. Hope things get better for you and be sure to keep hydrated =)

Hey RIP..how was your trip to TJ?? I got 5cc's in my band! I had a great time as usual, although I was not impressed with the Mariott as I liked the Lucerna alot better =) Anyways, hope all went well...keep in touch =)

That's terrific news..so glad things went well for you and you were able to keep your original band!! My thoughts are exactly as yours are..I am traveling back to OCC for all my fills!! I was banded on April 15th and I have scheduled my first fill for June 3rd. I was told by Dr. So that "IF" I follow the directions and do as I am told I shouldn't need more than 3 fills. Now I know everyone is different, but I figure they are the professionals and have been doing this for a long time, they probably know what they are talking about!! Take care and keep us posted on your "new" journey! Nikki

Good luck!! You will do fine with it and it's nice that you have lots of support!!! I was banded on the 15th of April and so far I have to say it's been the best decision I have made =) Take care and keep us updated with your progress!!!! Nikki

Great job on the 50#'s being gone!!! Keep up the great work..obviously it's paying off =)

Great job on the weight loss!! They say slow and steady wins the race =) Good thing we really aren't "racing" but doesn't it feel good to have "lost" 76 lbs FOREVER?!?!
-
Don't get discouraged! I have read they have said that you may or may not lose any weight until you get restriction. I guess that is why they tell us it is important to get a fill 6-8 weeks post op! I'm not getting discouraged..I am just trying to keep in mind that I am going to have to do the majority of the work(not eating so much) and let the band be my guide. Helping each ...

Best of luck to you!! Congrats on the 21 lbs lost!! That is great and keep up the good work. It definately isn't easy, but just keep your eye on the prize at the end!! Keep us updated on when you are able to schedule surgery. This site has awesome support and we all have one thing in common!! Take care and keep in touch KJ =)

Just wondering if you've scheduled surgery yet?? I am 23 days post op and have felt great the whole time =)

Small personal victories....hard lessons

I am not far behind you as a newly banded person and in another week I too will be learning new lessons! I am scared on one hand and excited on the other to start my new journey! I think by everyone posting their positive and not so positive experiences it helps all of us! Thanks for sharing and I look forward to hearing from you more =) Take care and good luck... -

You will do fine. I got banded on April 15th and have had no complications! The 21 day liquid diet is kinda tough...but I keep looking to the BIG reward at the end and I can't wait to say it was ALL worth it =) You will do fine..just keep a positive attitude and remember WHY you are getting banded! One final thought..ALWAYS remember is that the band is just a helpful tool, the re...
