I'm feeling great. Having no problems with food. Going for my first full sept 22nd after my trip. I have noticed sometimes after I eat I get a weird feeling like a small pain in neck maybe in eating too fast? My weight loss has stopped for now at 218. But I was 243lbs in July be pre op so I'm feeling good about that. I just can't wait for my fill and for the weight to pour off.

I am pre-band and have no experience of my own, but I am fascinated by what people refer to as the "slow stop." This is a signal from the body that it's had enough food. Maybe your signal is in your neck. I look forward to learning more about this -- and of course to getting the band so that I am able to keep from overriding a signal that I've had enough. Good luck to you! Sounds like you're really on your way!
