hi, im doing good so far with being bannded, i just had my 1st fill and seem to be losing weight at a slow but steady pace, they are having problems with teh scales at my doctors office so im going by mine at home and it looks like since my surgery june 18th im down about 15 pounds. my 1st fill went well but dont feel a lot of restriction. i will help answer any questions you have and it will be nice to have someone to talk about the process with that understands and knows what each other are going through. good luck, judy:thumbup:
