Hi Newbie I Had My Lap Band Done On October 5th 2006, I Am Just About A Month Post Op And Have Already Have Had My First Fill(october 27th). I Am Down 38lbs In Less Than A Month And Feel Back To My Normal Self. I Had Never Had Surgery Before The Band And Honestly It Was Not Bad At All. The Hardest Part For Me Was The Clear Liquid Diet For A Week Post Op. It Was Almost Like I Went Through A Depression Because I Had Lost My "best Friend" Fooooood! But Now All Is Well I Eat Small Healthy Sensible Meals And Am Very Comfortamble With My Decision To Have The Lap Band Surgery. Good Luck On You Journey, Be Patient It Is Worth It!

Hi Bandedshopgirl I Had The Band Put In On October 5th, I Lost 26lbs In Nine Days, Since Then My Scale At Home Has Stayed The Same. I Have Been Drinking 2-3 Protein Shakes Per Day.(gnc100%protein). I Am Curtious Too, Can This Be Slowing Weight Loss Process?

I Had My Band Put In On October 5th, When I Went For My Check Up 9 Days Later I Was Down 26lbs. I Had A Really Hard Time The First Week Out Of Surgery, The Clear Liquids Did Not Satisfy Me And I Got Really Depressed, As Soon As I Could Start On Soft Solids I Became A New Person. Get Through The First Two Weeks And It Gets Alot Easier. Please If After The Surgery You Need Someone To Talk To About How You Are Feeling Send Me A Thread And Ill Be There. Good Luck To All Of You On Your New Journey.
