  1. I was banded on may21 and have really started to get hungry too! It's crazy how that happens. my first fill isn't until the 25th. In the meantime I am exercising and tracking my calories. I have been on a plateau for the last two weeks and that is making me crazy! Definitely going to be ready for a fill!

  19. Holy cow...I'm banded! Had surgery yesterday. Looking forward to getting past these few days of soreness. Gas pains are the worst.
  20. Hey! I had the surgery yesterday! I talked to my doc back in December. I worried about all the same things you are. And the process seems to take forever but I would encourage you to use the time to really work on you and how you will live post band. I had a lot of time for introspection and now I am grateful for it! I felt mentally and emotionally prepared. The decision to pursue weight loss surgery is a difficult decision to make and I wanted it done quick! My advice is to embrace the process. Good luck! I hope it all goes well!
