i too have not had the surgery yet june or july i hope.im having trouble trying to loose the 20 lbs expected by my insurance company to even get the surgery.5 lbs or a little more.i can truly relate.god knows i hate excersize.but i cannot give up i must keep trying if i want to live and i do.im 57 years and 340 lbs at 5*3 and my portion size is a problem.good luck to all of us. ginny

my mother in law did.she was banded 3;24;11 and had first fill last monday.still has no restriction and was told this was fill 1 of 4 she went on certain solids a week after surgery after a brief time of liquids and pureed foods.she can only watch how much she eats and hope the next fill will do something to restrict her intake. i am still going through the steps to get mine maybe june or july .good luck.
