Hello! I was banded on July 2, 2007...just three weeks ago...and I feel great! I was banded in Louisville, KY by Dr. Shuster. I've noticed that some people are posting that they can't eat solids for 5 weeks post-op. I just started eating small portions of solids and am doing fine with them...my doctor did not have a problem with that. I've lost 13 lbs. since starting the liquid diet one week pre-op. I've visited the site several times since surgery and really enjoy the helpful advice, support, and comments from all!
