Guest guest Posted October 11, 2001 Report Share Posted October 11, 2001 Hi , I was just thinking about you lately and wondering how you were doing. How are you doing since your revision? BTW, Your name came up when I was talking with Dr. R. this past Tuesday about a revision (I need to lose more weight). I hope you are doing well and that we will get to see you at the " Holiday Party " December 15th! Shea of Raleigh MGB=5/26/00 304/222/242/? wrote: > All I can say is you call look Great!

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 Hey ladies, I've missed you all so much! Just wanted to say hi and give a little update. I've been busy and we've had company here from out of town and unfortunately I haven't been feeling the greatest. I'm really fighting the pain and the fatigue. The good thing is that the pain medicine helps and so does rest. My only source of income is getting some kids on and off the bus and watching my grandson while my daughter works. He's a handful sometimes but he takes a 3 or 4 hour nap every afternoon. I don't know how much longer that will last, but I hope it's a while! I went to a new rheumatologist a few weeks ago and I gave him my health history without any emphasis on the implants. When we were through, he asked me if I thought my illness could be related to the implants. I told him it was a possibility! I think he will come to that conclusion on his own. The other times I went to doctors I told them what I thought was wrong and that the implants were definitely the cause and they were offended. This time I let him put 2 & 2 together. Also, I wanted to let you all know that my husband and I are doing much better. I know I painted a picture of him as being a jerk and I admit that sometimes he is but he's been much better lately. The things I said about him before were things that were mostly in our past that should have been forgiven. I'm ashamed of myself for holding a grudge. I should know better than that. I'm going to try to keep up with what's going on here. I feel lost! Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Dianne, First off, Congrats to you for beginning your new life!!! Your situation sounds a lot like mine. I was banded 8/27 of 2004. I lost about 10 lbs the first week & then NOTHING for a while...it was REALLY slow going for me until my fills. I have had 2 fills total at this point. Please don't get discouraged, you are not supposed to be concerned about weight loss so much at this point..let your body heal up & get your fill & then the magic will really happen! Good luck to you! I am sure you will be so glad you had the procedure! Banded 8/27/04 Dr. Hamn Plano, TX 238/172/150? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Diane ~ When is your next appointment? I know that my doctor gave me a fill at 4 weeks which I thought was soon, but I wasn't losing much anymore and my appetite seem to be creeping back up. I am so thankful that he did that! I am now at about 5 weeks and I can only eat small amounts again and I'm back on the losing track. I'm down 8 more lbs since my visit 1 week ago.

While at that appointment, my doctor said I could now move to the pureed stage of the diet- which was a surprise as I had expected to be on liquids for a couple more weeks. I have not lost any more weight since the 11 pounds the first week. In fact, my weight seems to have gone up. I find this discouraging and am curious as to if this is normal or not? Has any one else had this, or a similar experience? Also, I am hungry these days and my stomach does not seem to stay full. Any advice?

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Diane, You can get the first fill safely at 6-8 weeks- no sooner, as there a relots of slips if fills are given before that time, as the band's sutures and scar tissue are not secure before that time. Several studies have clearly shown this. It's very common to lose a bit while on fluids right sfter surgery, and then regain some as you progress to solid foods. Your doc should have discussed this with you, so you're not worried now. This is why we always say the first 6-8 weeks are for healing, not for weight loss. The real band loss does not start until you get to a good fill level, usually after several fills a month apart. If you take care to follow the band rules pretty well, restrict your intake to nutritious foods, and keep calories in check, you can still lose some good weight even before a good fill - but it's harder. A good calorie goal at this point is about 2000 calories. After a good fill, 1200-1500 cal a day - no less - is a good goal and results in good, safe weight loss for women. Don't be too impatient to get fills. Use this time well to learn what you need to know about good nutrtiion and good band habits. Then, when you get to that good fill, your serious weight loss will begin.Sandy R (Kuri, at goal x 20 mo) > Hello everyone, my name is Dianne and I live in Ft. Worth, TX.
