Hi Tomlinson - are you male or female? Hard to tell with some names!

Have you had a band fitted yet - or are you just thinking about it?

Had mine fitted 3 months ago, go back next week for a 2nd fill. First fill for some reason, did`nt stop me feeling hungry; and found it difficult to keep to my diet. Hoping the new fill will keep me more satisfied!

There are quite a few banders on here; some much further along their journey than me who might be able to answer some of your questions - if you have any!

There are also some lap band threads - high lighted by a blue band next to them; information related to different subjects are covered within.




Take care hun x




Love Kat x
