This is good news to read everyone's experiences. I was banded on Oct 7,2010 and go in for my first fill Oct 27th, it was on Nov 4th but they moved it up. I lost about 20lbs between pre-op and post-op and put about 5 back on. That freaked me out to say the least, putting weight on that is. I seem to be able to eat better than most so I started getting crazy thoughts like the band is not there and its just the port....but after reading some of your post's here i feel much better. I will post what my experience is after i get my first fill next week.
Thanks again everyone for your stories!
