What is it like before you start getting fills?
I am the same way. I was banded on April 11th. I will be getting my first fill on May 10th. The first couple of days after surgery I noticed some restriction due to swelling.

Dr. Oz about WLS Monday
I watched the show I think they could have had more info on LapBand. That girl that only ate the yogurt had been banded 6 months ago. There is no way she would be healthy on just that amount of food.

starting pre opp diet tomorrow
I am currently on day 8 of my liquid diet. I'm just going to tell you right now it SUCKS. But I know I have to do it. The 2nd day was actually the hardest day for me so far. I usually drink 4-5 Protein shakes, sugar free Jello and Sugar Free pudding. But don't forgot to drink plenty of Water. My wife has been very sweet in trying to do the diet with me but after the 2nd day she had to eat.... lol

Can you be to overweight for lap band
My surgeon told me he usually will not do the LapBand on people with a BMI over 42. But since I don't have any current medical conditions then he didn't have a problem giving me the LapBand. Luke

Realistic expectations??
Everyone is different when It comes to weight loss. I have around 150 pounds to lose right now. The Doc told me I would lose almost all of it with Gastric and about 90 pounds with the LapBand. I still think with enough hard work I can reach my goal with the LapBand.
