Hi, I was banded on 5/24/07. I got my first fill on 6/10/07. It tokk him four tries before he found the spot, but it was not painful at all. Afterwards felt sick to my stomach, for about an hour. The resrtiction is a beautifull thing. I burp like crazy, but it is working. I need to eat slower, my chewing is fine. I can not eat bread. The thought of it makes me sick. I don't know why? But I am going to run with it. I also had 4cc at my fill on a 10cc band. I only hope this continues. I am scared to death of failure.
