I was banded on Feb 4th and was just trying to find someone else that was banded on or about the same day to keep tabs on each other and compare progress and experiences!

I'm supposed to get a first fill on the 18th. I have no restriction now and can eat anything, so I'm on willpower. From what you guys have said the first fill works for a while anyway for most of you. Hope to get the same results since I'm trying hard not to revert to my past life. I'm able to tie my shoes now and I don't want to give that up.

First fill today. Liquids made me full so I'm thinking it's working so far! :smile: Down 16 pounds since surgery. 30 total! Feeling pretty good too. Needle didn't hurt so much but pushing on my port area did. Ouch but survived.
