BANDSTERS?

Any bandsters out there from Nov. WOndering about how you are doing and sharing? Valerie

Hi Valerie I just got banded so far I am down 23 pounds I had my first fill 2 weeks ago I was feeling a restriction but it seams like it went away Iget my second fill tomorrow later Heather

Hey Valerie! I was banded November 23rd and have lost 36 lbs. I feel that I am just starting to eat more and think this may have an affect on my weight loss the next time I go to the Dr. which is Feb. 16th. I went last week and didn't get a fill because I am losing the weight. 2-3 lbs. per week. I just finished eating a chicken breast cooked in the crock pot and a cup of cooked yellow squash and I am so so full.

I was banded on Nov 23/05 and have lost a total of 39lbs! It feels great. My problem is that I don't think that i have any restriction. I went last Thursday for my 1st fill and I don't feel much different. My doctor is hesitant to give me too much fill becasue I am loosing weight, but I am losing becasue I am dieting and exercising like crazy!!! I use my treadmill every day and walk 4-5 miles at a stredy pace, so of course I am losing! I have been so scared that this would not work that i have been into the diet and exercise mode just so that I don't fail! I have to travel very far for a fill, but I see that you are also from MN and was wondering where you have your fills done. I have been trying to find someone that will do my fills that is closer.
