I was banded on May 6, have lost about 12 lbs since then. Am having trouble sticking to the 1-2 ounce portions - am hungry most of the time and not having any trouble eating. Also having trouble with drinking slowly - have not mastered the 5 minutes per ounce. First fill is Jun 17 - on the bright side, I am drinking plenty of Water and eating much more healthier than before with no cravings for sweets.

I was banded on 6 May, I too got so sick of sweet stuff - when dr said I could go to mushy - I had some v8 juice - it tasted sooo good. Then went to TX for niece graduation, the guacamole and hot sauce were wonderful.

It gets better - I was banded on 6 May. For me the most sore was the port area, now only a small amount of soreness at a couple of the 'poke' holes. Good luck!

I was banded 6 May - some soreness, mostly near the port. Am going back to work in the morning - desk job - nothing physically strenous.

Had given up on trying to lose after gastric bypass in 1994. Only lost about 20 lbs, but stayed relatively the same for 10 years (this was a first for me), but weight started creeping up again - about 10 lbs a year up to 290 on my first consultation in March with Dr Bagnato. After reviewing records and doing an EGD, Dr B. put a band in on May 6. With the pre-band diet, my bmi has gone down 2 points already. My first goal is to get the BMI down under the morbidly obese category.
