Hi Tammy,

I just got banded last week. After reading what you wrote the question that first pops in my head is which band did they use on you? I have the smaller one and have lost 13 pounds as of last Monday. Are you sricking closely to the diet, do you get hungry? So far I haven't really been hungry.

Hi Tammy, you are doing great. I am down 50 lbs in 10 months. A lb a week is typical. Good luck.
