I have had success with my band. My surgery went very easy, I had to remind myself to take it easy. My stomach felt like I had done too many sit ups (lol) for only two days. I took it easy for 7 days then started walking 20 minutes. The next week 30 to 40 minutes. On my third week I started swiming again. It was pretty boring until I got to the mushie stage and now my food selections are wide open.
