Boy do I know how you feel I was recently banded (3-27-08) and I want to do a drive by at a fast food drive in. I did not want the band but the doctor I selected said the Gastric Sleeve was not very good. So, I opted for the band not wanting my intestines re-directed, but If I can eat like this I feel as if surgery was in vain. I need help ALREADY!!!!!!

could someone let me know if it's going to get better and how do I prevent future mishaps?

I was banded on March 27, 08. I have gone 4 days on broth and water until I could not take it anymore. Being the cook in the family I had to sample what I was cooking and one thing lead to another. I didn't think I would be able to ingest anything and to my suprise I was able to eat a whole chicken thigh. How is this possible I thought the band was suppose to prevent this. HELP:eek:
