Hi my name is Crystal and I had the lap band surgery on Jan 24th. I just had my first fill on Mon. March 17th. I have lost 21 pounds so far and have loved having the band I feel so much better. Even Before my fill I could only eat about half of what I used to (bringing home left overs for the next night is a great feeling) now its even less. I have been very lucky and havn't slimmed yet. I haven't started exercising yet but am going to start tonight. Its amazing that I actually feel like exercising. I am so glad I found this site I was looking for something like this to be able to talk to people who are going through the same things as I am. I look foward to talking to and meeting everyone I can.

Hi and welcome to the forum. I am happy with my band, too!

If you look over the forum you'll find groups you can join based on the month you had surgery, or by age, or by how many pounds you need to lose.
