well i got to say so far im very happy with the results of my band. I had mine put in on the 15th of january - and so far ive lost 20 pounds - maybe more not weighing my self again till friday! And from the other gastric band site ive been on i seem to be one of the few who's apatite hasnt returned yet.. Ive noticed alot of people are starting to get hungry again. Im not due my first fill until 22nd of febuary - so god knows how much ill eat in a day when i have that done!

I am missing bread though , ied give my right arm to have a nice peice of brown bread / sour dough bread toasted! num num num

Congrats on your results so far! You don't HAVE to have a fill if your appetite is under control and you are losing nicely.

You're still a newbie! I'm nearly 5 years out and you just wait!!!  I feel at LEAST 20 years younger than I di before I had the band! A lot of things work better. It's great to be really alive agin.  You have so much to look forward to! Keep up the effort.  Food sorta becomes meaningless until you bite into a nice piece of fish :-)
