Hi,

I see that we have both been banded in May 09. It's always good to share experiences regarding the band with each other.

I'm still working out this website and am thinking it would be a better idea to write my msgs here rather than the blog?

I had my first fill of 3.6cc on June 11th. I have read in the forums that the needle looks scary so i closed my eyes, lol. I didnt have to drink water though. I laid on the bed with a pillow underneath the middle of my back (so it was raised) and he filled away. Since then i can have about 1/2 a sandwich amount of food and then i'm full for about 3 -4 hours. I Have to remember to chew my food very well before swallowing otherwise i get the pain in my chest for about 5 minutes while the food makes it's way down. I have maintained my weight since surgery so hopefully im on my way to the land of slim!

Hi, There is a social group (under the community tab) that i thought you might be intrested in it's called 'May 2009 Banders'.
