How many people have restriction without any fills in there band. I was banded on May 9th and still do not have a appetite. I go for my first filk june 6th. Wondering if i really need it.

I was banded in 5.22.12, today I had a serving of cream of wheat about 9am and still full at this very moment. Of course I have not had a full as of yet, but intend to get the fill as soon as I am allowed. I would get the first one and decide on any future fills after that! I kinda think alot has to do with which band they use, there are two, one is smaller than the other, my surgeon told me he used the smaller of the two on me.

i was banded on the 22.03. i had some restriction even though there was no fill at the time of surgery. ive now had 3ccs inserted, i do have a bit more restriction now than before. thats good you arent going through hell because of appetite. keep up the instructions on fluids that you have been given though. thats very important.

I was banded on 5/7 I had no appetite for a few weeks but because I am working out i am getting hungrier so I will get a fill on June 15th

Yes I had restriction with no fill.ate 2-3 oz.I got my first fill more out of curiosityi wanted to know what the difference was.I refused

My 2nd fill last week. I'm actually eating more now 4-6 oz.but losing 1-2 lbs

So is it the restriction that helps you not feel hungry? I'm confused on that one. I just had surgery 2 weeks ago and I just got my hunger back yesterday. I am transitioning to mashies and I ate today. It was weird I felt full, as though i was full on top of the band, but my stomach was still growling and felt empty in the bottom. Does that make any sense? It did not satisfy my hunger and I was very frustrated, but I could,not eat anymore.

Restriction is supposed to squeeze the nerves that send a signal to ur brain that it ur hungry as well as restrict the amount of food u can eat.
