I'm new to this chat room and I'm so glad that I have found you guys. It seems like a great support system. I got banded 4 wks ago today and I'm down 26 lbs. I get my first band adjustment on Monday. I'm kinda nervous about that cause I don't know if it hurts. I'm sure it is uncomfortable. I'm looking forward to chating with everyone and good luck to those who are starting there journey.

Hi kr, Welcome to the band wagon... It sounds like you are doing really well with 26 lbs already gone. I will be getting my band on October 16th and I am really looking forward to it.. From all that I have read the fills do not hurt at all, so everything should be ok for you on Monday... Good luck to you on your weight loss journey..

Hi, I am 9 days post op. I have lost 8lbs since surgery, 8lbs from before surgery. I had restriction for about 6 days, now I am famished all the time and am having to really work on will power to not eat. How were you at about 1 week post op to now?

Hey I am one month post op and going to get my first fill on Monday. I hear it is not really painful with a skilled doctor. I am not nervous because I have checked with several of his other patients and they all said it was easy. You are doing wonderfully. I have lost 20 lbs since surgery and 55 from dieting before surgery. Good Luck on Monday!
