Just joined the site today and I was banded recently on October 2nd 2008 and I am having great success so far. In the almost 3 weeks I have lost 15lbs and still going strong. I start tomorrow on the next phase of the menu.....soft foods!!! I never thought I would be so excited about a Lunchable or Frozen dinner (weight watchers) in my life. I have to say I am feeling pretty good. Been off work for about 2wks and I go back this Thursday....(gettin pretty used to being off). But, I am ready. Everyone keep up the good work. This was the best decision of my life!!!!:biggrin:

Hey there! I was banded just 8 days after you! Congratulations on your success, I too have bene laying low. I hear some people go back right away, but I definitely needed the time. Can't wait to see your progress :biggrin:
