I was banded on May 5, 08 and have lost about 30 lbs. I go for my first fill on 6/24 and can't wait since I keep getting hungary. Can't wait to not be hungary. I had my surgery done in San Fransico. I have to say it was not a bad experience. I am on liquid vitamins and chewables since I have had incidents of pills getting stuck. Not a pleasant experience. Good luck to everyone.

Welcome to LBT glad your surgery went well.

I too was banded in SF, only mine was done on April 21st. I have lost a total of 31 lbs since starting this whole thing. I have only lost about 12 lbs since surgery and had my first fill on June 10th with only 1cc. I go back for another fill on July 11th for another 1cc fill. I'm not having much restriction in my 8cc band, but I'm trying to patient and hoping that the next fills will give me the restriction that I'm wanting.
