Hello, I'm just being nosey really and wanted to find out how everyone is getting on and their weight loss so far? Where did you get your band fitted?
I had my band on 14th April and I've lost about a stone and a half so far and thoroughly enjoying the whole process x x

I was banded at end of May at Musgrove, Taunton under the research team. All good surgery wise and recovery, had monthly band fills with my last one on Mon (4th so far) had 8ml so far (4ml, 2ml, 1ml,1ml). My weight has stayed the same for the last 3months mainly because I have had virtually no feed back...but early days but since Mon definitely felt less like eating so much, really working on my 20-20-20 (food size 20p, chew 20x, eat no longer than 20mins). No regurgitaion, pain, wind, indegestion, nothing but just not seeking so much food. Hope this means I am nearing the green zone and real weight loss (22lb I lost pre-op and in first month seems a long time ago). Got Misfit this month and am feeling more mobile and increasing exercise with extra walking.
