Hello...I hope all is going well for you....I love my band, eventhough I have a ways to go Im enjoying the journey....its still gets hard for me...my experience so far is not that I gain but I tend to get "stuck" at the same weight for weeks...its only until I get a fill do I see a big decline in numbers....I've had my 3rd fill and it seems to be working just fine....I do get stuck episodes more often but I just have to remember to chew chew chew and eat small bites...take care

Hey girl!....glad you are doing well....I thought it would be later but the dr wants me to come in 7-14 to get my first fill!.....I need to crank up the exercise, but I've been trying to get over an awful cold and sore throat!.....the scale is still going down...slowly but at least down!...down 17lbs since surgery.....take care

Hello...glad to finally hear from you...Im glad you are doing well and congrats on the weight loss!...Im doing ok too....Its just hard to figure out what to eat...Im still on pureed foods but its not that bad....Im down 14 lbs since surgery and I notice that I get full after about 5-6 oz of food. It feels like I could eat more but I dont....I dont want to start have pains or throw up!.......from my highest wt in Feb til now...Im down 48 lbs....take care!

Hello fellow banster!...I know we had surgery the same day, I was just checking to see how you are doing. My surgery went great! Not much pain and little discomfort. Im just have lots and lots of gas! I feel bloated but I guess that will pass within the next couple of days...
