Hi, I just wanted to introduce myself. Im Kim and will be banded April 20, 2006. Ive read, on this site, that some people get the wrong size band or dont receive fills the day of the surgery and dont lose weight. I am hoping that mine goes through smooth and I do see results. I look forward to sharing my story with everyone.

hi my name is tracy iam getting my band done on 26th april in bruges i am from london England i have never heard that you can get the wrong size band.

Im sure if you read these postings about people's experiences you will see the frustrations and disappointment.

Sometimes we can listen to so much negative talk we get nervous about our own situations. Just trust your surgeon and listen to your body. Some doctors fill the band at the initial banding and some do not. Mine did not and I am not going to start second guessing anything until I've gotten through the first 6 weeks at least.

Hi

I am relatively new to this group. My surgery is first week of May. I would suggest that if you have questions you should always ask the surgeon or his/her nurse. Ask if they fill day of surgery and what the basis of their plan is. My husband has been going with me to help ask the questions that I feel too self consious about. Questions about fills, slippage, food, intimacy....

Best of luck...
