Band_Groupie

Thank you so much for saying that! Yeah got first fill yesterday at 9 am and so far I have had no problem but I haven't eaten anything really solid yet. The closest thing to solid was mashed potatoes. Doc said mornings tend to be tighter so its 640am and I guess I will see what happens. One of the things I am working toward also is a trip to Cancun Mexico I have planned in March. So, obviously I would like to lose as much as possible by then. So, I need my sweet spot to be now! The doc gave me 3cc's and said if by next week I don't feel restriction I can come back in for one more. I can't wait to be where you are! It motivates me to hear you say that and gives me hope. Thank you very much!

hi friend! So you said things really start speeding up after banding...do you mean after the fills start? Because I am banded its just not filled so i really dont have any restriction at all right now- my first fill is on 10/5 -they moved it up from 10/11 thank god! Congratulations on your bandiversary!!!!

Hey BG, Thanks. Its nice to have people around who have been thru it. Thanks for the nice welcome!!

Hi, I just wanted to thank you for your response to one of my most recent threads talking about this "bandster hell period". I really appreciated what you had to say-it helped me to understand and put things into perspective. I really was unaware of how little restriction I would have-it's true that this is harder than those 6 months too-mainly because during those 6 months I was able to do other exercise besides just walking and that made the weight loss much easier and gave me more room for different things in my diet. But anyway-I do thank you very much! It's nice to have you on here. Talk to you soon.

good to hear from you dear. Feels so good to be light on your feet, doesn't it?

So wonderful to hear from you... 60 WOW, how wonderful for you. Yep, it's the start of something good, a change you can see and something that WILL work for you, because you're workin' in great!

You're doing awesome with the band. How've you been lately? Everything OK?

I'm touched by your sweetness. Thank you.

Thanks BG for the support and confidence. I will be sure to keep you posted.

Hey there!! I miss you on the main board. How have you been? Of course I am not doing so well. I ran into a bit of a snag. My surgeons office forgot to submit my phys evaluation and that is what holding me up on the decision. I am furious and very upset. I tell you BG, this waiting part is so hard. I am about to pull my hair out so of course I turn to you for some encouring words. I am so hoping that I get a word this week.
