Hi there, My name is Nicole and I am a RN at the hospital where Dr. Forgione works. I am also his patient. Very glad to read others experiences. I was banded on October 29, 2007. Not really losing as of yet which is very frustrating for me, however grateful. I have no other issues. No nausea, no GERD or reflux, no pain really, and little resriction so far. I have ac tually gained a few pounds and very nervous to go to my Dr's appt having gained 4 -5 lbs- yikes! Very happy to have found this thread. Nicole

I was banded 2 weeks ago and feel little resriction now. I can eat anything soft with no adverse effects. I'm gaining weight. I think the issue is I need a fill. Just a little scared. :paranoid
