Hi all First, I'm glad to be here and have to admit something, the post I've been reading have been more informative than any med article or Doc profile. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for making this site. Second. Can someone describe for me what exactly is the BAND DIET? I am currantly 250lbs/5"6"/23yrs old and is considering banding surg. But part of me is curious about trying the diet of a bandster and see how I do. Please reply with as much info as poss, Thank you. B. in Boston.

THanks juliegeraci for replying to my post but now I'm a little confused about fills. From your post I think I got-a patient does not have food restriction unless filled (meaning band is tightened)? I thought once the band was in place you are pretty much under restriction already. Please help, Ub.
