Hi All... I was banded on Oct 22nd 07...I have a follow up visit with my doctor on Monday. I've been afraid to get on a scale to see what I've lost. Have gone down from size 20 to 16 in jeans. I'm very hungry and have been eating more, find that I'm always looking for food. I haven't had a fill, but after reading your comments, I'm going to ask on Monday. Thanks for all your input.
