Getting banded March 10, 2010

First Im so glad I found this site have been reading lots of posts and it been very helpful! I just have a few questions.

I understand that the band is suppose to make me feel full but did anyone have depression or problems because they couldnt eat? I know I am not the only one who eats for emotional reasons!!

Also has anyone out there been banded by Dr Armando Joya in Puerto Vallarta, MX?

And lastly I notice most people are getting lots and lots of fills, I thought you only needed a couple??

Lots of people have depression because they have to change their eating habits. You either work through it or you don't. I honestly recommend finding a therapist to help you work through your food issues.

The number of fills it takes to reach the right level of restriction is variable. Some people are great with one fill, others take several attempts to get it right. I'm on...I don't even know. Seven or eight? And I need another. But my surgeon's office is really conservative when it comes to fills--no more than 1cc at a time.
