hi susan did u get your band yet? I did on Oct. 2, 2006. I've lost about 9 - to 12 lbs. it changes I also have 50% evaporation and I just went for my 4th fill and I don't feel any restriction yet. On top of it all by no fault of Dr. Artuso the day after my banding I went to get the sip test before I was sent home, and the teck. didn't hold the table and I fell and to make a long story short this past Friday I just got my Shoulder operated on due to the fall. I hope that I start to loose weight soon! I'm getting discouraged. The earlier weight loss happened in the first week after banding.
