That's good to know, thank you so much.

Yeah, I know how you all feel, even though I'm newly banded, I lost some weight however, I feel like I'm doing this all on my own, I have not felt any restriction, and I had only one fill so far. I also have friends and family suggesting to me that I should have had gastric bypass instead, because you lose the weight faster. Its frustrating I know, but hang in there you guys, it will work, just gotta be patient and have faith, cause I'm not giving up, I know its going to take time. Good luck everyone, and dont give up!

Hey everyone, I was wondering, I think I might need my 2nd fill. My first fill was on May 5th 2010, and I haven't felt much restriction, I think I might need a 2nd fill, however is it too soon to get it?

It totally normal, I was the same way for up to 3 weeks, that's where I lost the most amount of weight. After a while you start to feel the hunger again, so don't worry your body is just healing from surgery, pretty soon you will start to feel the hunger and then your going to wish, you didn't.
