Sometimes I think I might have made a mistake in having the banding done .But it is all worth while so far .I eat almost anything I want to try. I even ate some steak, small amount, it tastes so good to be able to eat something that I reallylike .I've lost 25lbs.sence this has all started I'm lucky so far nopbing up anything so far,a little gas pain so far,I sip a little h2o with my meals and stop at the first sign of being full .I found out that if you count the times you swallow water while you drink don't go past 3 swallows and stop before you go no this has helped me .:whoo:
