Hello, I am new to this forum but have been lurking and reading everyone's posts. I had my surgery on 4/9/13 and have not had a fill yet. I was told my band was placed with no fluid in it yet. I have my first fill scheduled for Monday 4/13/13. I have noticed that I am getting hungry alot sooner after I have my protein shake in the morning. Is this normal?? I am praying when I get the fill it will help as of now I am thinking why did I go through this surgery if I am stil going to be hungry all the time. Advice please.
