Hi All!

Hi Everyone! I have been reading the forum for awhile but this is my first post. I have been overweight since childhood and now at age 33 decided to have lap band surgery. I was banded on 5/27/11. My pre-op weight was 246 and am currently at 236. I have not really felt the benefits of lap band at this point, but it has only been 2 wks. I thought that after having this done that I would not feel the hunger, that the restriction would allow me to eat small portions but would feel like I have eaten the same amount as I normally would eat. I am waiting to have my first fill to see what kind of result I will get after the fill. I am satisfied with my weight loss but not with the hunger that I still have. I feel like at this point I could have done Weight Watchers, Atkins, etc. and had the same results in a month. Any thoughts or words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your support.
