Curious to see how you all are doing these days?....I started with a BMI of 36/ 5'4/ 211#...Surgery 11/18/09. First fill Jan 12...They say I had 5cc? in the band already from surgery...but I felt no restriction and could finish a 6in Subway if I wanted. So that added .5cc's ..Now I don't really feel restricted but not hungry between meals like before. Started counting points(WW) this week. Next fill 2/1/10...my current weight is 194..Goal 135. Appreciate all the advise I can get...thanks

Hi, freshly banded here! 11-18-09 in Austin Tx. Had the most incredible headache after surgery then the worst gas pressure in my L shoulder yesterday...But today was a new day and I feel great. I took an hour walk with my family. Starting to feel hungry. I started full liquids yesterday. I also added protein shakes today and have so much more energy! Good luck to us all!
