:thumbup:I was banded on May 30th and am doing very well! I've lost about 7lb since then and along with what I lost on the preop diet, I've lost a total of about 21lbs!! I feel great, I'm not hungry all the time, but when I do get hungry it's a real hunger for good food. I still have some cravings but I'm able to get past them with drinking my water. My port incision and the one in the middle are still sore but the other three are almost completely healed. I've been walking around the field at the elementary school about 4 times a week. Dr. said I could start swimming on Friday, I can't wait! We have a neighborhood pool and I'm buying a membership this year. They have an adult swim every evening and water aerobics in the morning, I might try the water aerobics, but I'm definately doing the adult swim! I am sure that this will help the weight to come off even faster! I feel so good, my feet don't hurt!! My knees haven't hurt since I lost the first 10lbs! I haven't had a headache in 2 weeks!
Sorry for this ramble, I just wanted to share "I love my band!"
