I was banded on 11/22/07 and I am eating with no problems. I am not on mushy anymore I eat chicken breast cutup and raisins, and sushi, and still some Soups I am only noticing a small bit of lesser hunger, I had a 5cc fill with saline at the time of surgery, I was banded in Tijuana with the French Band Mid Band, and it was not stitched to my stomach , so I healed mush faster then some, still I can go back for a fill until the end of January and I am hungry still, even with a small fill. I hope it will get better; I lost 18 lbs the first week and a half and have not lost any other weight.
