RE: Random questions..Juzzy.

Hi

Juzzy,

There is no fill for the first month, but

due to your tummy being poked and pushed, you don’t feel hungry. I was on

a liquid diet for the first moth post op and was not hungry. My brain told me I

was I kept saying I want toast, and prawns and 2 chickens, but really I was

fine and had no hunger.

I lost 12kg in the first month. I loved my

band from day 1!

I started at 105kg and now at 67kg it’s

coming up to 2 years since I was banded. It all takes time.

Hope this helps you out a bit

Random questions...

Hi there

I am due to be banded in 11 days, Jan 21. (day 4 optifast today yuk)

I have a question or two to put out there as well!!

le's question answers covered a few of my questions!

* Is there literlly no restriction until the first fill?

* What were others inital weight loss between the banding and the

first fill? (i am 36yo, 96kg and have a goal of 69kg and to eliminate

my now medicated hypertension)(I am going on a cruise in March and

want to look decent-ish in my cozzie!)

* I only have a week of work, is this enough?? (i have a desk job)I

am worried about standing on the morning bus squash into the CBD for

the first week back? Should i drive in instead?

Thanks

Oh wow Fi, you are a star! Well done on your weight loss My weight goal is 70kg but I still have a long way to go there, lol.

One question for you....is excess skin a prob for you? I am wondering if my "apron" will ever go away, thats all....
