Had first fill yesterday 11/20/2007 and I lost 19 LBS the first month. Pretty excited about the start. Hopefully, I can keep it going.

It's humane nature to be nervous before the surgery, but it will be fine. I had mine on 10/22/07 and I am feeling almost like my pre-op self. They had me on liquids for the 1st 48 hours and I am now on the mushy food stage. I blended up some Campbell's Potato Soup and added water and non fat half and half it was great. Half the bowl filled me up. The pain is very manageable. You will do great.

I was Banded 10/22/07 and I believe Dr. Spivak did a tremendous job. The 1st couple of days you feel pretty beat up, but the meds were very good. They recommended walking around to relieve the pain and gas it helped alot. along with gasX strips.
