Hi, I was banded on 7 August in Western Australia. Starting weight 103 kgs and now down to 92kgs. However, most of the weight loss was due to being on the Optifast diet for 2 weeks prior to surgery. Had my first fill on 6 September and have not lost any weight since then, in fact I have put on 1kg. My appetite has come back with a vengeance during the last week or so and I seem to have no problem eating whatever I like, although I do feel I can't eat in the same quantity that I used to. I am not due for another fill for 3 weeks and really feel I could do with one earlier but my doctor is away. I'm going to have to be careful with my food intake, especially as I am craving all the bad stuff just now. I hope that my second fill will give me more restriction and I can get on with losing the weight.
