I was talking to a co-worker today who had the lap band done a few months ago. He has done well with weight loss, but men usually lose quicker. He asked if I had pain after eating. Nope not at all. He asked if I had to avoid foods because they get stuck. Nope again. He asked if I was hungry all the time. nope for the third time. He also asked if I had reflux all the time and a few other questions. He said that if he didn't chew every bite to musch he had sever pain. He also said that he only ate at home because it was so difficult to eat at work or out anywhere.
I am soooooooooooo happy that I got the sleeve over the band. I am only 4 weeks out and have had no issues drinking or eating anything. I am not losing as fast as I want to, but I know it will come off adventually. I am losing inches though.
