Got a lap band in 2008. Tried hard, but didn't lose much weight & developed swallowing problems. Fought my insurance company for almost a year & finally had a band to DS revision on 5/11/12. Have now lost 125 pounds. Yay!

Shelli - I can't tell a difference with the band yet - I am on liquids until tomorrow so maybe I will feel something over the weekend.  I can truly say that I am rarely hungry and I measure my food - 1/2 cup at a time.  Just can't get in all the water that I should, but I am working on it.

I was nervous about the fill but it didn't hurt at all.  I had 2 cc in from surgery and he added 1.5 cc yesterday, so I should have restriction for sure now.

You've done well too....
