I was banded on 7/2 and am also hungry all the time. I have a 4cc band and had one cc put in with my first fill. That was 3 weeks ago and I have not lost a pound since. I too can eat way too much. They say it takes at least 2 fills. I will keep you informed but know that others feel your pain LOL.

I have a problem. I am losing hair and panicking that it won't come back. It has really thinned out in 8 weeks. Anyone else having this issue and what are you doing for it.

I have had my first fill. One cc in a 4 cc band. I have no restriction yet and can eat almost as much as I could before the band. Because of that I lost no weight the entire second month. I go for another fill Thursday but that will only make 2cc in a 4cc band. I hope it helps so I stop eating

Hi all!! I turned 41 on July 1st and was banded on July 2nd. I am 5'7" and at the time of my surgery I was at my highest weight of 280. I am a single mother of a 7 year old son. My insurance paid for everything so the surgery did not cost me a dime. The day of my surgery I was in pain but went home the same day. I was banded in New York. It has been almost 6 weeks and now I feel good. I have occasional discomfort still where the port is. I needed a good 3-4 weeks until I felt back to normal. It was a slow recovery for me. I had my first fill 2 weeks ago and it was uneventful. I did not feel a thing. I have lost about 30 pounds in 6 weeks but there have been a few weeks when I lost nothing so dont be discouraged. Some weeks are great and others nothing. I take a multivitamin and calcium everyday and eat a lot of protein. I do not exercise because i hate exercise. If there is anything you want to know just ask. Hope I can help.

I was just banded a month ago and I have been having ice cream everyday. It is my device for emotional eating but it has caused me to regain a couple of pounds. I must stop but it is so easy to get down and soothing
