New here, just banded 11/21!!!

So far I'm just on the fence about the band. I'm not feeling that much different. The liquids are getting old, but I've been able to add some bulk like soggy saltines and bloated pasta pieces. Mmmm, tasty. So I'm just looking at all the before and after's thinking how cool it will be in a month or so when I can really tell a difference.

    Hi Keli, welcome to Bandland and LBT!! You probably wont feel a difference until you have a fill or 2! It took my 6 fills to get to my sweet spot. I have the Vanguard 10cc band.

    Good luck!

    Hi Kelly - How are you doing, now? Did you have a low BMI? Who did your surgery? I hope you are seeing/feeling a restriction now because as a pre-bandster I'm thinking I would feel disappointed if I had to wait for a fill before loosing even a little weight.

    Best Wishes!

    Good luck to you! Be patient, the band isn't an instant miracle! The band has many lessons to teach. You'll be a good student! Keep posting, this is a great place! Cindy
