Just had my first fill yesterday and I didn't feel a thing. I really think it the individual person. So, I don't think it's fair to make those who haven't had it done yet worry. I had my surgery 10/28, first fill 12/12 and I am down 21 pounds. It has been the best decision ever. I am so much happier.

Okay, so I was getting up off the floor the other day and felt a "pop" in my abdomen (right around my port). Now, certain ways I move I feel severe pain in the same area. Family seems to think it is a hernia. If it is, what does this mean for me? Has anyone had a hernia?

I have a question. I was banded on 10/28 and I have not yet felt full. If it weren't for a little will power, I would be eating like normal. I fell like I could eat and eat, just like i did before. I have been pacing myself and only eating the 3 recommended meals but it's starting to worry me. Anyone else experience this?
