You can add me to the list, I was banded on October 3rd. I feel great, I have a slight pain under my left ribcage which had me worried, but I've been reading on here that it is rather normal, which is very reassuring! I'm down 15 pounds, which is exciting, and Friday I should progress to pureed foods - I can't wait! I'm thrilled with the outcome so far, no surprises. Good luck to everyone!
