Hi.... This is my first post so I don't really know what I'm doing, but here goes. I was banded on the 14th, same as you, and everything went fine. I had a bout with trying to eat some food on the fourth day (I felt so good we went to the movies,and I thought I'll just try a little popcorn)....I paid for it with a bad case of indigestion and serious chest pain. Anyway, I'm past that and it is going well. I am not hungry and I am still doing liquids/protein shakes. I have lost about 7 pounds. I was very pleased to see several of us who were banded on the same day! Lets keep in touch so that we can compare notes....
