I am 39 and have been heavy most of my life. I have gone on diets and lost some weight, but only to gain it back and then some. I never thought I would have bariatric surgery, until my weight kept gaining and my doc talked to me about the lap-band.
I know what you mean about no restriction with the first fill - I don't notice any difference at all. I am scheduled for my 2nd fill on the 22nd, which is good because I'm getting really hungry between meals. I hit 50 pounds this week - woo hoo! Thanks for keeping in touch!
