I concur. I had my surgery on 8/3/11 and if it weren't for the scars I'd never know I had the band put in. I have my first appointment on 8/22 and I am going to ask to be filled. I have progressed myself through the eating phases (which I know is a no-no, but i was STARVING), and have quickly learned when I've eaten too much or too fast. Hopefully she will agree, if not I'm going to try a different docotr.
