  23.    j1m reacted to a post in a topic: 4 New Bandsters...
  24. Just in case, 4 all the New people. When your bands are complete, your first month or so, you are healing, and your band is open, until you get your fills. So its OK if you put on a few pounds at first. (Post-Op). Don't Beat yourself up or get discouraged. Stay on track. Just writing this thread because, I've been reading alot of new Bandsters feeling down 4 gaining a few pounds in the beginning. I don't think their Doctors are giving them proper instructions and step by step information on how the Lap Band works. That's why I love this site because we all help each other....
