I Was Also Banded On March 25, 2008. I Lost 22.5lbs. My Scale Has Slowed Down, I Lost .5lbs Since 4/10 To 4/16. I Started Working Out And I Lost 3 Lbs In Two Days. I Get My First Fill On 05/01/2008. I Guess Until You Get A Fill, Working Out With Have To Take The Place Of The Hunger Pains. Stay Strong My Friends.
