Hello All,

I had my 1st fill yesterday and did the whole mushie thing...had no problems other than that my stomach growled all night like I was hungry.

Have you ever had this happen? I wonder if it was "head hunger" or my stomach's reaction to the fill? Odd...

Thanks!

Hey Pam,

I just had my first fill 3 hours ago, put in 3 cc's I have a 11 cc band.

Dr Spiegel did mine, and I am having stomach grouling also, but am definitely not hungry at all.................Good luck

banded on 10/26/2005

first fill 11/22/2005 / 3cc in

start weight at 315/306/200

Sometimes your stomach can growl but you're not hungry, but generally if you've got tummy rumbles and you feel hungry, its not head hunger. You are hungry. Not that you necessarily should do anything about it just after a fill while you're still on mushies, but ignoring physical hunger is much easier than ignoring head hunger for me.

I posted about this same topic a couple weeks ago! I have since had an additional fill, and the grumbling went away. I simply cannot explain the extreme hunger I felt from that last fill - I would swear someone took the band away from me during that fill, cause I would rumble and feel so hungry. And it wasn't head hunger this time! Anyway, I got another little fill last week, and the rumbling went away. I asked my dr. about it, and he couldn't explain it. I had excellent restriction for a couple months after surgery - didn't even need a fill. Went for a fill and GOT HUNGRY?!? Got another fill, not-so-hungry now. Still loving my band, but wondering just the same!
