my mother in law did.she was banded 3;24;11 and had first fill last monday.still has no restriction and was told this was fill 1 of 4 she went on certain solids a week after surgery after a brief time of liquids and pureed foods.she can only watch how much she eats and hope the next fill will do something to restrict her intake. i am still going through the steps to get mine maybe june or july .good luck.

I had my first fill 9 weeks out. My second is scheduled for tomorrow at 15 weeks. I have no restriction AT ALL. I find that I make better choices and concentrate on better portions though. I started this after surgery. i measure everything out, use smaller plates, bowl and utensils and I exercise 4 or 5 days a weeks. I feel like I didn't go through major surgery to get back to my old habits! I often wonder if the band was really for me because so far, it hasn't done anything.... except completely change the mental aspect to all of this!!!! I think its what I needed most!

If that's all that I ever get from this band, IT IS ENOUGH!

GOOD LUCK! Hang in there! This too shall pass!
