I'm SO glad that you wrote this! I was afraid that I was the only one! I was banded 3/10/2010 and well i originally lost 31 pounds right after my surgery within the first two months. This past month has been HORRIBLE because i'm hungry ALL the time and it seems like I literally have zero restriction. I haven't weighed myself, but i'm pretty sure that i gained at least a few pounds. I'm going for my first fill on Thursday and I'm reallllllllllllly hoping that I get full and can start losing weight again!

Hey guys, This is actually the perfect conversation for me! I'm a sophomore in college and I'm actually getting banded on Wednesday. ahh, i can't believe it! It's during my spring break and I only have a week and a half before I need to go back to school, eating at college has definitely been one of the most nervous parts of getting the surgery! did you guys tell your friends that you were getting the surgery? if you didn't, how did it go? (i only told my roommate and one close friend).
