GREAT TO READ ABOUT YOUR RESULTS !! WHAT A LOSER 
!!!
And also glad you mentioned the slight issue you had with the band. Only reinforces what I tell everyone, DOCTOR FOLLOW-UPS ARE IMPORTANT.
Doesn't matter if you're one day or 10 years out. Periodic follow-ups not only keeps us on track, but can also diagnose unseen issues. So if you don't feel right, call (or better yet GO SEE) your Doctor right away. It could be something very simple.
IMHO it's best to hear "oh that's quite normal" than to hear "why didn't you contact us when this first happened?"

“Nothing I will ever eat will give me the feeling I get as when I lose weight” The views expressed are based on my own experiences - and should NOT BE FOLLOWED IN LIEU OF DOCTOR’S ADVICE/INSTRUCTIONS. Only your Doctor knows your condition, and make sure you talk to them before making any changes to your diet
Good for you and glad to feel that you are feeling better now.
Tom is SO right about the follow up appts.
Keep on sipping tha****er and keep up the good work.
Best wishes to you,
Leslie
