Hi, I'm new, I've been lurking for a little while. I live in Milwaukee with my Husband and 7mo old son, been trying to loose weight for some time with no success (obviously, that's why I'm here!) I go to the consultation meeting 1/21 and then meet with my surgeon 2/1. What else can I expect and has anyone had any doubts about their bands?? Oh, and how much do you usually loose the first month NOT including what you had to loose for the surgery?? Thanks (:
