Has anyone had lap band surgery recently?

I had the procedure done 1 1/2 weeks ago. Glad to say that I lost 10 lbs in the first week. I saw the nutritionist 8 days post op and after leaving there, was under the impression by talking with her -reading thru some lines and drawing a bit of my own conclusion; that although the band is now ON, this is still basically a 'prep' (and healing) period since the band is not yet tightened and I haven't had a saline 'fill' yet, and wont until 6 weeks post-op. I did cautiously TRY a few foods that are not yet typically suggested and had no problems. I understand the stoma will not get small until the band is tightened w/the saline fill. Does this sound right to anyone??
