So, band was left empty after surgery on June 9.

July 27, first fill 4.25cc. Was great for a week, then all hunger was back in full force, I would eat, mostly Protein, and 1-2 hours later hungry again.

August 28, 2nd fill 2.5cc, which now puts me at 6.75cc in a 10cc band. Yahoo.. OMG went to IKEA today, ordered the Kids Swedish Meatballs. It comes with 5 1 inch meatballs, mashed potatoes and applesauce. I ate 4 of the meatballs, just dabbed in the applesauce for juiciness and flavoring. Ate 2 little bites of the mashed potatoes, and I was STUFFED. Here it is now 9 hours later, and I am still full. I have been sipping my protein liquids all day, bullet with Water and crystal lite, and i know I need to eat something, because it is way past dinner time, but I just don't know.

WOW, If this is what restriction is like... I LOVE IT.

That's great! I am SOOOOO looking forward to being where you are. I also had surgery 6/9. My first fill was 7/31 2cc, which did nothing. Second fill 8/28 1cc which is not feeling any different. My surgeon said next fill will be 0.5 or 1cc depending on how I'm doing. (I'm losing weight fine, but it's willpower so far!). It's a little frustrating to not have restriction yet. I know, I'll get there and waiting really is the hardest part. At .5 cc/fill, it could take a while to get there. Maybe that's what I'll tell Santa I want for Christmas. :wub:

Wow..i hope my 2nd fill is better. I have an 11cc band...my first fill was 5cc's. I still feel i can eat way too much--dont feel much restriction. I have to wait 6 weeks before my next fill...i hope that one does the trick. Havent really lost anything lately..playing with the same 1-2 lbs up and down for a couple of weeks now!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
