Do you feel the way you did before banding?

Physically and emotionally I feel great. I think it was exactly 2 months to the day when I felt I had completely physically healed from the surgery. Don't get me wrong, even in those 2 months I felt great. Wonderful energy. My body is more limber as I lose weight. I feel healthier as I have to make better food choices than before. I love the way my clothes are getting looser. Tonight I am searching my closet for something to wear to work tomorrow. Nothing fits well anymore and I am starting to feel sloppy walking around in baggy oversized clothes. It's a great feeling!!!

Yes, I felt normal and many times forget about the band......except when eating.

Thanks - I think my question has been answered. Most people do not feel the band in their regular activities (besides eating). That was my most important issue. I didn't want to have the surgery and then feel differently (apart from better for having lost weight) because of it.

I can't wait for my consultation next week. Thanks to everyone for your support and feedback.
