How many times have you actually seen Dr. Riley? I'm going for my second fill on Thursday and have only seen him when I got my EGD. not very good follow up from my mentor either.

I go for my second fill on Thursday. I hope I get some type of restriction. I haven't lost anything in the last month and it's very discouraging. Especially since I'm having a very hard time paying for my part of the surgery. :-(

I just got my first fill and still no restriction. :-(. There is 3.5cc in my band and can tell no difference.

I go for my first fill tomorrow. Right now I eat most anything. I've lost 15 pounds since my surgery, a month ago.

I'm glad to read that I'm not the only one that's hungry. I had my surgery on 6/25 and I've already been eating soups, etc. The hunger was driving me crazy the first week. I'm thinking at this point, there is no restriction. Knock on wood, I haven't had any problems. I've got an appt. for my first fill on 7/25. I've read alot of horror stories about throwing up, etc. And also about band slippage and stretching the small stomach pouch. I hope this is going to be a little easier than some people make it sound. lol

I had mine on the 25th and I have eaten soft foods with no problem. I kept reading that the first week you shouldn't be hungry. NOT! My stomach was growling and being hungry was making me angry. I've eaten fish, soup, etc. with no problems.

I had my surgery on June 25th. The pain should start to get alot less tomorrow and Monday. I had mine on a Monday and I went back to work on that Friday. My nurse told me the shoulder pain was from the diaphram. I also had the hernia repair.
