hi, i was band may 7th and 6 weeks post op was my first fill the process is very simple u go in the doc has u lay down on the table then he feels for ur access port mine is under the big scare on my left side anyway he numbs u up around the port then inserts a syringe filled with saline.he has u sit up while the syringe is still in u then has u drink some water until u feel the water start to slowly go down. now you've had ur first fill.for me i had good restriction for about 3 weeks then i started to feel loose again hungry, im on my third adjustment and have lost a total 115 lbs.so as u can see its not a big deal u may have more or less adjustments than me but everyone is different good-luck. .:wub:

hi, i was band may 7th and for about a week i also had some pain but the doc should give u some good pain meds. anyway hang in there after about a week u should start to feel better .so far i have lost 115 lbs so any pain and discomfort is well worth the results. stay positive.:wub:

HEY,I WAS BANDED MAY 7TH AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED PAIN WHEN EATING. IT ONLY HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES. BUT THE PAIN WAS INTENSE:cursing: .

I was banded may 7th and have lost 95 lbs so in my opinion the band works great in men. U know this is not a magic weight loss cure ,its a tool, and it all depends on how well u learn to use that tool. Good luck
