I went in for my 2nd. fill on Tues and it went fine. I am now down to 391 from 440 since Sept. I feel great and look forward to my next fill in 6 wks.

I still have to S L O W D O W N when I eat. I may get a timer to make sure I am taking 20 minutes to eat. Other than that I am happy to face Christmas confidently knowing that I can control my eating with the help of my band.

Hi Erik,

Sounds like you are making fantastic progress. My surgery is still a little ways down the road but they are stresing me to train myself now to eat very slow and eat without drinking. It is tough going but if I can get it down now it will just help me more once I am banded.

I look forward to following your progress.

Jim
