Almost 4 weeks since surgery...Can I have a freakin drink??
I have was banded Dec.14 and I have had several glasses of wine off and on since then. I don't feel any different then before the band. It has to be because of the empty calories. I would just be sure to get in some good aerobic excerise over the weekend offset the drink.

4 days post-op, really bad hunger pains
I was banded Dec 14 and was crazy hungry until my 2nd fill which was Jan. 14. I am now at 5cc's in a 10cc band and I eat some and it controls my hunger. Good Luck!

STARVING after first fill?
I was banded Dec. 14th and had my 1st fill on 01/05/10.(3cc) I was more hungry after the 1st fill then the surgery. I called the Dr. and went in yesterday. He put in 2 more cc's. It made all the difference in the world. I am not hungry at all.

The Card...Do you have one?
My doctor gave me one when I went for my pre-op visit. I haven't had to use it yet but I'm sure it will come in handy.

I am STARVING!
I just logged on to the site because I am feeling the same way. I was banded on 12/14/09 and in the mushy stage. I am hungry all the time. I have heard it is just your head but I heard my stomach growling over my radio! Help!

What were your first few days post-op like?
I was banded on Monday. The only thing I could think of is what have I done. How long before I can have it removed. I am finally where I can eat mushy foods and things are ALOT better. I am dreading the 1st puke but I guess I will get over it as well.
