Hi thanks so much for that reply,it really helps to know whats ahead!I can't believe you have to have two soposotories!I'm not looking forward to that!Thanks for your honesty too, its good to know that its not easy to give up old habits even after the operation.Did you go on any diet before the op?Please let me know how your first fill goes!I hope that you are finding the strength to lose weight,its a struggle for all of us,I should know!Is the band a useful tool?Are you glad you had the op?
