I got banded last Friday (June 27th) and I am amazed at how well I have been feeling. So far I have lost 15 pounds so on average about a pound a day. I wonder how that will change when I start solids.

My only concern is that the palms of my hands keep peeling and I haven't gotten my period this month. Has anyone experienced this as well?

Monicasf, I got banded May 27th and also feel GREAT. Never a moment of nausea, or pain, I've lost a total of 29lbs since surgery day and still loosing. It has slowed down, especially now that I am very comfortable w/solid foods, but still going down each week. I go for my first fill July 18th and I can't wait. I do feel like I am starting to see old habits stick their mean ole heads up, but I just have to remember, eat healthy, even you have to eat more, make it healthy,(low carb, low fat, no sugar, high protien) My period was about 4 days late, and I am always 28 days every month, no fail. So be patient, you've been through surgery and that was stressful, so give you body time to catch up. This has been the best thing I have ever done for myself. I'm not able to eat the size portions I use to before the band, so I know things are working in there, even w/out the fill yet. :tt2:

Lorrie, I am so happy to hear the band is working for you too!! I am sure after the fills you will keep dropping pounds left and right. Lets keep in touch!
