Well i feel like your telling my story. I had my band late june of this year so i'm 10 weeks out this fri. I have had two fills that i have had to beg my dr. For he now tells me he does not like to give them very often even though his letutre says he gives them every two weeks as needed when i sighned with him. Unfortunatlly i have alot of family members and friends that would benifit from the procedure but i can't seem to give them encourging news since i to have only lost 20 lbs and am hungery all the time. I feel like i am on a strick diet and told my dr. That. So my husband and i will be going this sat to talk to him and see what we can come up with. I don't like how at first he seemed very aggrisive about what i would be getting with the band and now nothing. With that said my husband , niece, and cousin has backed out of getting they'res. And that is sad because my husband has health issuses do to his weight. So i am fustrated to say the least not to mention we spent a whole hell of alot of money to get this done. We also have two friends that had the band and each have lost lost and lost weight but they went with another dr.

I to was banded on a friday and went back to work on mon. I work as an office manager for an a/c company, so it wasn't to bad. I will tell you i was so ready to go home at the end of the day . I was very tired. Other then that it was okay. I had my surgery in late june of this year.
