Hi. I was banded on 11/8/07. I'm going to try and read everyone's posts, so I can get a clue as to what everyone is doing and feeling. As for me, I'm 30, in KC, and have a 10cc band, w/only 2.25cc's in it so far. I've not had much luck keeping the fills in. Is anyone burping still -all the time??

What do you have to do to join the Nov Nymphs? Is it an exclusive club? Or do you just have to have been banded in Nov? So curious for support.

Thanks!!

You found the right place, Huskerette! Being banded in Nov. '07 is all you need. You are doing amazing with only 2.25cc in your band! Looks like you are more than halfway to goal. If you have trouble with fills and are losing at a good rate, then maybe you're tight enough. A few people who use my doc never get fills at all. Sometimes the band is tight enough as is. Anyway as I said on the Meltdown thread, welcome and glad you found your peeps! :biggrin2:

Welcome Huskerette. I was banded on 1 November 07 and have lost 35 lbs so far. I have a 10cc band with 9ccs in it. Unfortunately for some reason I still haven't found restriction so I am going for a barium meal / swallow this Thursday to test my band. I don't have any other symptoms so it just might be that I am one of those people who need to go to the full extent. Anyway, you look like you're doing really well. As Cindy said, the November Nymphs are a great bunch of people and very supportive. Look forward to chatting with you.

Welcome! Welcome! Welcome!

The November Nymphs are the best friggin support group in the world..Shout out to my Nymphs; Sades in Australia, Bandpal in Isreal(sp) and TxArcher in Oh Yeah! South Carolina formerly of the great country of Texas...and the rest of from the good ole' United States (and anyone I missed like QatarPhil) all kidding aside this is a great group of people who all genuinely care about each others success. We motivate each other and never criticize. You know I have read other post on this board and others that do that but I have found that we truly do not. We encourage when down and we celebrate successes regardless of how small. You have come to the right family. Stick with us sister you are in for the ride of your life...

Not to mention bikini's next year down under in Australia with Sades!

Cindy

Can't wait Cindy !! :)

Welcome!

Congrats on your success. I have 4.75 cc's in a 10 cc band. This is truly a great group of people.

Hey Huskerette,

We are a very non-exclusive club. Welcome in. I assume you'll be sending the normal initiation fee out to all Nymphs ;o) (kidding).

Put your numbers in our Nymphs Weight Loss to Date thread. YOU will put us over the one ton loss mark!!! Go nymphs!!!

Oh, I have about 3 ccs in a 10 cc band (not sure how much they put in during surgery....)

Hollyberries - what the heck - when did your BMI get below mine?!?!? It's on now!!!!

Foofy!

Low Carb and Water Aerobics Baby!

Cindy

Welcome Huskerette!!
Your doing a great job of losing with only 2.25cc WOHOOO

Thank you so much for all your support. Austrailia next summer? Really? What a great goal to look forward to!! I better start saving!

I'll be waiting !! :))

Good luck on the barium swallow tomorrow Sades!!!

Thanks Foofy.

Hollyberries - don't forget me from Canada! (although I live in the States now)

Huskerette - I read on another post you're full-time student and worker so don't you even try to read all the posts here with all the work you're doing! You take care of yourself and just join right in. I totally agree this is the "best friggin support group in the world!!" (In case you haven't noticed Hollyberries is everyone's all-round cheerleader and supporter!)

Thanks. I don't actually start school until 8/18. But I'm studying ahead of time, cuz I'm not all that smart. Smart enough to get the band though!!!!!

Anywho, I get a fill 7/3 at 10 am. I'm so excited & nervous. Hope u have a great 4th.

Thanks everyone for your support.
