I had my surgery about 5 weeks ago and am going in for my first fill next week. I have had no restriction and am very miserable. I am aware that I am suppose to follow a program; so this is not the issue. My issue is the feeling of hunger after meals and in between. I got the band in hopes to have help with curbing my appetite. I know everyone's bodies are different. I want to know, if you have had a fill can you tell me your experience of appetite control; how long did it last? How long did you have to wait for your second fill?

It does curb your appetite! It depends on your doctor though. My first fill was 5.5ccs which is a lot apparently.. a lot of doctors go 0.5ccs, or 1cc at a time, in which case it'll take longer to curb your hunger.. I'm at a point I can go 5 hours without eating.

I'm not sure if I will need more, I'm thinking maybe a tad more in the future. It takes a few weeks for the fill to take full effect. I think if you get very little Fluid in your fills then you go every few weeks.
