I was also banded on 8/20. Still having pain around port site, otherwise, no problems. My MD and dietician had me on protein drinks for a week. My 1st fill is Oct. 3rd. I will follow along with you as we make this journey. I now seem to be able to eat whatever I want and that concerns me. I see the dietician on 9/18 and will discuss this issue. Yes, I am hungry!
