I had my surgery on 12-22-11 and getting my first fill this Friday and I am SOOOOOOO ready !! I am so glad that I found this website because all of your comments just made me feel better. I guess I thought it would do more now and if I think after my first fill I'm going to eat like a bird I guess I have another thing coming. Thank you for asking this question and thank you ALL for responding..God bless you all..Tony, Holmes Beach, FL

You are and answer to my prayers....I am feeling the SAME way...wondering if I have done something wrong. They told me to eat 2 tbs of meat, etc but then I was not getting enough calories. My doctor's coordinator who is also a patient form 8+ yrs told me that the goal of the first month post surgery was to get used to the new pouch and for it to heal and not to worry. I tried to get them to do my first fill early but they wouldn't I can't wait for this FRIDAY to ge my fill..I understand your fear because I have the same fears...I guess I didn't expect to feel this hungry too. They said the band does 70% of the work and I don't expect it to do more than that but I hope it works too. Keep us posted on your fill...good luck.. TOny in Florida
