I was banded on May 8th and so far have lost a total of 21lbs - which I am very happy about.
Here's the thing though - I am going away to UK for 3 weeks on 18th June to visit family, and attend a wedding and my doctor has said that he thinks it's probably a good idea not to have a fill before I go incase I have any problems when I'm over there. I noticed on some of the threads that some people had their first fills at 4 weeks and others not until about 8 weeks. I'm just worried that if I don't have a fill, I will not have any restriction and begin to put weight on when I'm over in England.
What should I do?
