I am a new member and I have been reading a lot about the lap-band. I am scheduled for surgery on June 6 and I'm very excited, but I have a few concerns. I been reading about the fills that you guys talk about and I have no idea about what you guys are taking about. Can someone please let me know what this refers to? Also people have been talking about not loosing weight with the band. I know that the band is not a magic pill, but I do think that it will help me restrict my food intake. Please let me know if I'm wrong. Maybe I need to do more homework on the band before I get it. I'm just so tired of gaining weight. I feel so hope less and know, I think, I found my solution. #-o
