Brand new me!
 

Well, I got my Lap Band installed on December 8th and so far so good. I haven't had any complications and seem to be on track. Eating my soft foods and drinking my protein shakes. I am taking in only the recommended amounts my Dr suggested, but I have never gotten a full feeling. I will be going back to have another follow up in January and will have a band fill if i need it a month after that. :)

So glad I made this choice for myself!

Happy Holidays to all!

good for you!!! glad you're feeling ok. and, from what i understand, there's no restriction until that first fill, so it makes sense that you're not full [and i KNOW someone who's actually been banded will be along to tell you the real deal! I had RNY].

keep up with your doc's recommendations - and enjoy your holidays! 2012 will be a great year for you.

:carrot: all the best for your new life :carrot:

Jiffy is that some one me? lol

CONGRATULATIONS :cheer:

Please remember, whether it be a fill, restriction, eating, drinking and weight loss.. it all happens slowly with the band, patience is the key... and whether it be a fill, food, drink.. its all trial and error, a learning stage but you will get there and you will do just fine. Just remember that and you'll do great :)

If you have any questions, please do hesitate to ask... these ladies are the best!

Merry Christmas :tree:
