Post opt since October 7th, 2011.. Had my first fill on Friday August 24, 2012 and I've lost nine pounds. Pre opt at 311lbs. Ten months post opt 245lbs and in five days after my first fill I'm down now to 236lbs.. I'm so happy I could fly!!! Lol.. My doctor gave me 2cc in a standard band and I'm doing pretty well with it. This was the best decision I've made in my life!!!!
