please tell me why you decided to go with the lap band? Did you ever consider the DS procedure? How was Mexico and did you find a doctor to do your fills? Marlene

Welcome Lizrdel! Congratulations on your surgery. This is just the beginning of your journey, and I'm sure you'll find tons of support here.

Hello--

This is my first post, although I have been reading your posts for the past 3 months or so. I was just banded on 12/28/05. The only day I wasn't hungry was the day I had surgery. My doc put me on full liquids right from the start, but they do not fill me up for very long- 2 hours max. I feel like I am actually consuming MORE calories because I am putting something in my mouth like every 2 hours-- although I did lose 4lbs since yesterday- so something is working.

Okay so who did your band in Mexico? I am researching Dr Rumbaut

miboyer, I saw that you were worried about putting something in your stomach every couple of hours....well, as long as it is low cal or no cal I would think that you SHOULD lose some weight. 4 lbs in one day....you go!
