<p>I am glad to have discovered some freinds to join me in this experience. I was banded 8/9/07. The surgery and recovery were a breeze. Unbelievably easy! My nurse gave the go ahead for all foods (chewed very well) on day 6. Which I have followed with no problems. I lost 10 pounds in the first week and about 4 since then. </p> <p>My first fill was 9/7/07 - a bit strange but no real change in eating. I can still eat more than I think I should. Sometimes I worry that I started eating regular food too soon -but -I did follow my doctors advice.</p> <p>Basicaly, I still feel like I have to work to lose. But I guess this is an improvement since I couldn't lose an ounce before, no matter how hard I tried. </p> <p>I know I should lose slowly but I sometimes feel like people are watching me and saying - damn she had surgery and she still isn't losing much. </p> <p>I've been wondering what people mean by the AP band and referring to fills with flouro?</p>
