Since i posted i've had my first fill (June 11th) of 3.6cc and can now only eat the equivalent to about 1/2 sandwich. Very happy with this. Now i just have to remember to slow down my eating enough so i dont over fill myself! :tongue_smilie:

I was banded on May 15th. Post op i went from liquids to mushies within a few days and then on to regular foods, eventhough i was supposed to stay on liqiuds for 2 weeks post op and then mushies for 2 weeks. I had the same concerns as you do. I was told (on this forum) that you dont actually start to feel any real restriction until after you have been fillled. I had my first fill on June 11th and noticed the difference straight away. I HAVE to take smaller bites and chew for longer before swallowing or else i get pain and vomiting. Anyway, things are still going ok for me even after not following the post op diet to scratch. However, i'm in no way saying that what i done was right. Good luck!

I was warned that i may feel pain in my shoulders from the anesthesiologist but fortunately this has not happened to me. I don't feel any hunger and the liquids are filling me enough but my brain is hooked on to wanting what i cant have!

Hi, I was banded on Friday, 15th May 2009. I was experiencing some reflux pain and came across this forum via google. It has been very helpful to know that other people experience similar things with the banding and their suggestions on alleviating it. I'm still only 3 days out from surgery and am struggling a bit but from reading some of the threads i feel very optimistic.

Hi, I was banded on 15/05/09 by Dr D'Onofrio. I had my first fill of 3.6ml on 11/06/09 and am due for another fill tomorrow. I have some restriction since my first fill but for some reason it seems to have settled down and my loss has stalled. I'm still in the process of giving up my love affair with food so this is probably adding to the stall as well, lol. Trying to be paitent!!!
