I am scheduled to have my band on 11-22. I was told that I will not have my first fill until 4 weeks post-op. Do you feel any restriction with the band placement alone?

Thanks for the encouragement! I know that my habits HAVE to change and I did not get like this overnight. I am excited to lose this weight and feel better. It is good to hear that these fears are normal. I really haven't told many people about the surgery because I don't want to hear all the horror stories :huh2:.

I am scheduled for November 22. I was looking forward to getting my band but my mom mentioned today that a friend of hers was getting her band out. Long story short, I am now worried about it not working. I feel like I have researched the surgery enough to make a good decision. Anyone else been here?:blushing:
