Hi, my name is Terri. I was banded on 10/6/10 and had my first fill on 11/8/10. I do not feel any restriction yet and I begin the mushy stage for a few days beginning today. I am always hungry and able to eat more than the 4 ounces. I do not do so because I fear band slipage. I am not seeing any real weight loss since my surgery. I am frustrated because I had a great deal of weight loss prior to surgery. I would appreciate any guidance and support given. Thanks!!!!!

Oh and btw, I am in Florida.

hi.. the weight will come off, got band on the 27th of august weigh in @345 and now im @ 311 loving my band and you will love yours to good luck

I am so happy to hear of your success. I have actually gained a few pounds. I find that I am hungry so I will call this week and find out about another fill. I just had my first fill the 8th of November. I can't wait to feel the actual restriction!
