my surgery was 4/11--my fill isn't until 6/19--my own fault, I am going to be out of town when I should have my fill. I'm not having trouble with hunger mainly because I am having trouble with everything going through the stomach and the bowels so quicklky. the cramping and gas are unbelieveable. It definetly takes away my appetite but I don't recommend it. Anyone else having bowel problems? I thought this wasn't supposed to happen with the band.:blushing:
