I ll keep my fingers crossed for you. I ve had my band for 6 weeks now and so far had no problems. I can eat most things but dont eat bread and its much easier than pre op to turn down foods. Your appetite changes. I still have days when I want to eat everything but I cant so I dont. Let me know how you get on. One piece of advise I feel I must pass on is get yourself a non wired bra for post op as due to the wound sights its really uncomfortable wearing a wired bra.
Best wishes
Caroline
