I got my first fill on 8/3. I've lost 26 pounds so far (after surgery) and am trucking right along. I'm feeling "stuck" with certain foods, learning what I can and can't eat (mostly bread and pasta, the usual) and to take it small and S-L-O-W! I have had one episode of sliming, but no PBs. Still not feeling good restriction though. I actually haven't felt "full" since June despite truly "listening" for it. Right now, I stop eating b/c it hurts and I'm too impatient to slow down even more. However, if I took 2 hours per meal, I could eat as much as I wanted. Not quite sure that's how this thing is supposed to work. Right now I have 6.5 cc in an 11 cc Lap-Band AP.

You are doing quite well according to your ticker. Did you lose a lot of weight pre-op?

Hi, I'd kept hoping I would meet someone in the St. Louis area....and now even better. I live in Fairview Heights and was banded on 7/8/09 by Dr. Eagon at Wash U (even though I work for SSM...oops!). Just wanted to say hi!
