Just banded 3-26-07 and feeling fine!

I am 4 days post op and feeling surprisingly good. Tenderness of course but up and walking after about 4-5 hours. Drinking liquids and mentally ready for mushies but not until the Dr OK's it. Dr Harlon Opie and the Olathe Medical Center staff have been just incredible. I don't think I'll even have scars the incisions are so small!:nervous

Hi All....I am new to this forum and am very excited about getting some help from the people who have had their bands as long as I have...7 years!! But I need to tell the new people.......if you still do what you've always done...you will still be what you've always been!! I loved my band at first and within the first year....lost 103 lbs!!! WOOOWHOOO!! But then, as time went on, my eating habits didn't change and I found my self eating more and more...just slower and slower. I have now put back on 60 lbs and am SCARED:help: that I am going to waste my $20,000!! Insurance didnt cover it...I paid $$$$$!!!!! PLease Please Please address your reason for over eating!! I hope I will be able to get the help I need to get this back under control. Its still there....I can still feel it and I havent had a fill in 6 years. The last time I went for a fill....roughly 5 years ago..the dr told me he couldn't tighten it anymore!

Looking forward to meeting all of you and swapping experiences!!!
