Today is my month (a little past) checkup. I am in "Bandster Hell." My first fill is next Wednesday, the 13th. I have lost about 20 lbs., but its a struggle now because I am hungry. AND I can eat just about anything. I have read some of your blogs about fills, and I am concerned that the first fill won't curb the appetite. I don't dread the fill, but I am concerned that I won't fill a difference with the first fill. Any thoughts??

I was banded 3/17 & had my first fill 5/4. I am like you in that I can eat just about anything and this first fill made no difference. But I understand it may take 3 or 4 fills before I start to feel the restriction I am looking forward to. Every person is different and every dr. is different & mine is conservative. My "stomach" is in a rush, but my "head" tells me this is the way to go.... slow & steady. In the meantime, I am trying to make sure I get a lot of protein and drink lots in between meals. Have confidence that the weight loss will happen (along with plateaus). I use this forum for support & knowledge EVERY DAY. Congratulations to you for making this wonderful choice. You can do it!!!
