Hello, I was just banded on Dec 14th. I already feel like there is no change from before the surgery. I know I definitly can't eat as much as I used to but I also don't feel any restriction. I am due for my first fill on the 19th and I hope that makes a differance. I have read some peoples post that talk about the band being pre-filled before surgery and I'm not sure whether mine was or not (guess I better ask that next time I'm there). I've been fluctuating between 17 and 20 lbs since the 2 week pre op liquid diet and it feels like I'm stuck in a rut already......any advice????
