Getting up and down was very painful. I slept in a recliner for a week. After that I was ok.

Good to know! How were you with liquids? Was thy difficult for you? And when did you start getting mobility back?

I used dr Ed Pucci like the office staff and love to go to meeting I had mine done may 27 2011 I am down 68 lbs 20 more to go

Wow!!!!! Congrats!!! That awesome I hope to be as successful! What do u think the hardest part of being banded is?

I would say it a tool not a fix all my hard part is to stay away from potatoes

The liquids were ok. I followed the diet very closely. Recommendations: unjury protein shakes, chicken broth, sugar free jello and plain yogurt with cinnamon.

Love potatoes! But willing to give everything up to be healthy and thin! What'sthe best part?

Agreed. I can't eat anything potatoe-fries etc. also some bread things give me trouble. Should we meet?

Best part is losing the weight with minimal effort. I'm at 43 lbs in 3 months. I feel better than ever! Long way to go but it's been a great start. Would totally do it again

Oh I could eat it that's my down fall I think I am at a plague right now don't like it I need to lose this last 20 lbs I am gaining now and very upset
