I'm supposed to get a first fill on the 18th. I have no restriction now and can eat anything, so I'm on willpower. From what you guys have said the first fill works for a while anyway for most of you. Hope to get the same results since I'm trying hard not to revert to my past life. I'm able to tie my shoes now and I don't want to give that up.

I was banded on the 4th as well. I have lost 28 lbs pre and post op so far. I had my surgery done at the Weight Loss Center in Beverly Hills that advertises on this site by Dr. Gee. The results seem to be pretty good, with not more than a few days gas and pain, which seems to be pretty much over now. I read an article in the LA Times last week that accused the centers of being in it for the cash and don't care about their patients. My experience was pretty good as I said. They are obviously pretty industrial and do many more ops than most docs. Does anyone have a bad experience?
