Hello and Happy New Year! I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Mac and I was banded on 11/17/10. To date I've lost 25 pounds (8 before surgery and 17 after). Now that the swelling has gone down I find myself eating more and was worried. After reading several of the discussions today I am relieved to learn that this is normal. I am scheduled to get my first fill on 1/4/11 and hopefully will feel more sated. I live in Southern California and my surgeon was Dr. Bengt Pehrsson (awesome doc). I truly look forward to establishing friendships on this forum and welcome the support as well as offer it. God Bless and may 2011 be a year of goals fulfilled for all!
