Banded August 8, 2012. Starting weight 220. Weight today, 196. Got first fill 2 weeks ago. No issues don't really think I need another fill yet. Still have burping and some gas though. Crazy that after I eat my left shoulder still gets an intense pain. I am averaging 1/2 to 1 pound down a day. Hope to reach my goal of 130 by February. I eat pretty healthy and a lot less of it. In a restaurant as soon as the food comes I cut it in half. I walk 3-4 days a week on my lunch break.
