  2. Hello out there, my name is Karen Leyba and I haven't written in awhile because I forgot my password. I was finally banded March 17, 2008! i felt really bad after the surgery, but it was because I was given Demoral for pain. As soon as I was given Lortab, I was better and ready to go home. It was instantanious. I have lost 40lbs. and I feel great!!! The first 20 lbs. and my joint pain is gone. My back pain will never leave me completely because I have a ruptured disc and a bulging disc. In June my husband and I went to Europe and it was amazing! I did really well with my band. So far I have had 3 fills. And the last one had to be done with the x-ray because although I have lost 40lbs. I am still too fat in the tummy area, and it is difficult for the doc to gibe me a fill. I swear my stomach must be as big as a football! Because I still eat alot. I can't imagine how big the rest of it is. I am eating very well, healthy and yes somtimes I cheat. I choose Russell Stover's sugar free chocolate and Skinny Cow icecream. I don't over indulge. I take my vitamins and try to follow my diet as much as possible. It is still a never ending battle becuse like my doctor told me," I can fix the stomach, but only you can fix the way you eat". So I wish you all the best and I hope you have a doctor that is as loving and caring as mine is.
