I was banded a little over a month ago, and I'm doing great (despite some heartburn issues). I feel like I have good restriction, although weight loss has slowed down.

I have obviously not had any fills yet. Is it possible NOT to need one at all?

No fill here since surgery on Aug. 23rd. Still no hunger pains / sensations. If I forget to eat, sometimes I will hear my stomach growl which at first was alittle wierd for me, now I am used to it on those occasions and use it as a reminder to eat.

I am five months post op and havent had a fill yet Im down 90 lbs once I reach my goal I may ask for one but other than that I feel great ...........just work hard at the gym dont just use the band as the only tool

Interesting! I'm not hungry now.. I don't have a fill yet. But I would think it would lead to cheating if I never got a fill. I have a good handle on what I'm eating and how much, and eating slowly and all that. I don't know how long that will last!
