Hello, recently banded here and am also a little disappointed with the lack of activity going on in the band community here. The first 2 days post op were uncomfortable and when I felt the most pain but like Julie mentioned..I quickly felt like I had returned to "normal". If you are still having this much pain by the time you go for the 1st post op appointment definitely mention it to your wls.

Hi! I had my surgery on Aug 23, the first few days there was hardly any hunger but around day 4 I started feeling weak and hungry. I felt as though the clear liquids just weren't giving me enough substance and by day 5 at my post op appointment I was cleared to move on to the next phase. I had my first fill of 2.5 cc on Monday, total I have lost almost 14 lbs and 17 combined inches..cant wait to see more progress

Hello all, I am curious as to why the band has such a bad rap? I am currently 1 month post band, has had a 2.5 cc fill and have lost almost 14 lbs. I do not feel a whole lot of resistance when I eat a meal but I definitely find I am for sure unable to eat even close to the amount of food I would have eaten pre band. I do think I feel about the same amount of hunger as I used to and I hope with more fills that will change but either way I am hoping with just the decrease in calorie consumption alone should lead to more weight loss.

Congrats! I am scheduled for my first fill this Monday. So far I have lost 12 lbs. The surgery itself for me was not bad at all! Post op I'd say it took me a full to days to feel like "myself" again.

Hi Bee my name is Rebecca, I am also 28 and from New Jersey I had my surgery on 8/23. Feel free to ask me any questions!
