I was banded on October 1, 2010 and had my first adjustment today, I have lost 43 lbs. I have no regrets whatsoever, I am just Praising God for Medical Science. I have gone off of my blood pressure medication and also my diabetes meds, Thank God, Don't worry just take one day at a time and when you start seeing results, you will feel so mch better.

I was on liquid diet for two weeks post op, I had surgery Oct. 1, 2010 and have not been hungry, I guess all docs are different, but I had to do one week clear liquid pre-op and post op, then two weeks of pureed food--I still do not get hungry I had my first adjustment today, I went two other times for and adjustment but was losing good amounts of weight, so no adjustment--Yes you need to call the doctors office.
