:thumbup: Yes, I made it through the first two weeks. I was banded on Feb. 2nd. First week was not gooooood, to say the least. Since this time, everything is well. Weight is not falling off quick enough to suit me, but understand patience is the key. Still not exercising to my potential, but hope to real soon. Weighed 246 before post op. After post and pre op diets, weight is down to 228.
