Hello all, I was banded 10/4 and also had an umbilical hernia repaired at the same time, went home that night, and other than being sore the first couple of days, it wasnt that bad overall. Actually had my first fill yesterday 10/24, and that went well also. Been on liquids since the fill, and am looking forward to puree'd food tomorrow! Lost 12 lbs pre op and 7 lbs post op...so excited about the possibilities!
