Thanks everyone. I guess maybe i do eat too fast. Such a hard habit to break. I'll try eating slower. It's hard because I always eat with my significant other and he wolfs it down. Then I end up not being able to finish my food and have to give him the rest. He jokes i'm trying to make him fat...lol

I was banded on 7/27. My surgeon had me do liquids for 1 week. When I went in for my follow -up on my 7th day, he told me he wanted me to get used to my band and get to know it. He told me to experiment but stick to Protein, and avoid carbs and only zero calorie liquids. I have been doing exactly what he said. I have lost 24 pounds. I have had no bloating, nausea, gas, nothing. Every surgeon is different. I went with the one who banded a few people I know and they were very successful without any complications. They went on and on about how much individual attention they get from him. I see what they mean. I have never met a doctor who gave me their cell, pager, and personal email. He's not bad on the eyes either...lol

I was banded Friday, July 27th. I did a ton of research before I made my decision, talked to several people who have the band, and talked to 2 different surgeons before making my decision. Now that I have had the surgery, I find myself sometimes freaking out. I woke this morning and just started crying asking myself what did i do to myself? I can't tell when I'm full. I keep reading about people getting stuck, vomiting, hanging skin, and I keep thinking to myself, "this is what I have to look forward to?" Someone say it isn't so or give me a dose of reality.
