Curly, You know I am thinking the same thing. I am on several groups and boards and there does seem to be many issues similar However, nothing can compare from being 159kg and now feel NORMAL !! I jumped on the scales today and I am 68kg omg...and to think for one week since my surgery I havent eaten anything either !! Julie

Hi Curly! Yes, I sooo love the Prof I have an appt with him at the end of the month for my first fill...not sure whether I would have lost any weight since the new band, cos it seems I have gained 4kg this week!! Oh well...it will come back off, once I get restriction. Which suburb do you live in ? I am in Donvale...my first band slipped, well the stomach came up over it. I had all the Fluid removed to begin with and it sorted itself out, but then as we started to refill, it happened again. I also have several months of dodgy, maladaptive eating...pratically pb'ed everything I ate since the slip, so I went the other way and lost all my weight as opposed to gaining any.
