Hey everyone! Just wanted to check in and let you know how doing. I had lap band with plication and hiatal hernia repair on 4/3/12. I am currently down 19 lbs!! Super pleased. Recently started on my mushies. Surprisingly, my hunger has subsided. I'm drinking so much water and I keep my hands busy constantly so I think that has helped to keep food off my mind. My pain is gone. Still just a bit touchy now and then on my port site. Otherwise, banded life is awesome!!

Yah! That's encouraging to hear you are doing well. I cant wait until I can say that.

That's great! I was banded on 3/20 (no plication) and have been doing good. I did get my TOM two days ago, and cannot believe the crazy food thoughts/cravings going through my head right now. Cannot wait til it's over!!!

Keep up the good work to all recently banded its worth it in the end
