Hi Suzanne, You will love the results of having the procedure done. I have had a band for 6 months now and have lost 55 lbs. without even trying. Stick with the pre-op drill to keep the doctors happy. Your knees will love you for doing this. I can actually bend down and pick things up now. I am going for my 2nd fill tomorrow to make sure I stay on track. Everything so far has been great! Tman

Dear Milf2B, I just had my first fill last week. I too had little to no restriction and found myself wanting and eating more than I know I should. Amazingly, once I had the fill, I once again had the "I am always full" feeling and my constant thoughts of food have diminished. Not totally gone away but easier to control knowing that if I eat the wrong things, I will probably get sick. I waited unit 10 weeks for my first fill only because it took 3 weeks to get my appointment. My fill doctor was very good and made sure I did not get too much of a fill. Prior to the fill, I had been level in my weight loss and once done I immediately dropped another 6 lbs. Still the best thing I could have done!! After your fill I think your visions of Ho Ho's may come back into a better perspective. Good Luck, Tman:smile2:
