I had surgery April 2, 2009, and my first fill yesterday (5-13-09) The doctor only put in 1cc for the fill but I take numerous medications for kidney transplant, diabetes, seizures and a blood clotting disorder. Is it normal to have the "full" feeling after the first time? and does your body adjust to the tightning, until the next time? It really was difficult to manage my meds and then to even think about eating.....

I received my first fill yesterday, 5-12-09, surgery was April 2. My doctor said that I was unique, because I am a kidney transplant patient and type 1 diabetes with other medical problems which require me to take NUMEROUS medications. (up to 40 pills a day.) After my fill and that evening trying to take my meds was not the most pleasant experience. I must take certain anti regection drugs at specific times, so I had to stretch the pill taking over an hour to hour and a half time period. Which will still leave me full, even before eating. I am curious to know, I can not be the only transplant/banded person. Would love to share information....
