Off to a good start.

Hi, Wanted to share progress report. I was banded on June 7, 05. I have been filled twice and doing well. I have lost 33 lbs thus far and feel like I am doing pretty well.The band has been a learning process and continues to be so. I lurk on the web-site ( lap.band forum) for lots of info and support. Would love to hear more from fellow Ne's! Shelly

Hi Shelly, congratulations on your weight loss. Sounds like you are doing well.I had my band in January 2002. I lost 110 pounds and have maintained my weight loss for over a year. What is most important about having a band is that the more you see your surgeon, the better your band will be adjusted, the better your success will be. I saw my surgeon monthly to check my progress. I didn't always get a fill, but I knew I was on the right track. Good luck with your band. Mona

Hi Shelly! Congratulations on your success thus far with your band! I will be banded in 16 days (Aug 16th) in Scottsbluff. Any words of wisdom for me in preparation for these last two weeks?? I sure hope you continue to progress the way you have, and wish you the best in your journey as a bandster!! Husker Hugs!! Tammie
