I was banded Feb. 1/07 with the Midband. I have lost 20 lbs to date and I am still on full fluids. Tomorrow, I start mushies and I can soooooooo taste it. My doctor was Dr. Yau and I have had no problems so far. I was 299 at time of banding and hope to be 180 in 2 years.

WELCOME to LBT!!!!!!! congrats on the 20 lbs!

Thanks Tracey. Are you on any special diet yet. I had to go on a cottage cheese, yogurt (all low fat) for two weeks prior to surgery to shrink the liver. Say, how did you get the neat looking measuring stick into your message? Doddie
