I also got done in Prague on 27th August. My experience was very good and Dr Martin Fried did mine. But he did tell me that he didnt expect me to return for at least 10 months. Am still in mushies stage and am losing weight nicely but I dont have any feelings of fullness. The UK advisor is Mandy and I rang her last night just to confirm what I was feeling was OK. She had hers done in May and she says she is at least 4 dress sizes down now but I cant verify that unfortunately. She says what is happening to me is normal but Im not sure. Im keeping my fingers crossed through the phasing in stage and waiting for my first resticted feeling. Let me know how your experinces panned out in Prague as I am very keen to know. Alison x

Hi Guys :help: I was banded on 27th August and am doing fine, no major hunger attacks, going onto mushies tomorrow and hopefully will continue weight loss as have done this week (9lbs since Sunday !!!) Anyways, the thing that is niggling me at the mo is - what is the story on fills ? My doc is adamant that I shouldnt need to return to his clinic within the first 10 months for a fill and yet I constantly read about banders going for fills within less than two to three months and again a couple months after this and again and only then do they start to feel real restriction. How can I go 10 months without a fill and still lose weight. I cant tell yet whether Im restricted because am only on liquid, so I wont know probably intil after 4 weeks - but I just cant seem to get my head around this no fill concept. Does anyone have any theories ? Is my doc talking rubbish ? Does it differ from surgeon to surgeon ? Alibob Banded 27th August Pre Op - 280lbs Current - 271lbs
