I had my first 4 days ago. Up to that point, I had ZERO restriction. To my surprise, before they put the saline in they made sure to see what was left in after surgery. I had 5 cc's already in there! They then put 2 more cc's in for my first fill.
I finally have restriction, at 7 cc's. Boy, has it been a lesson in how to carefully chew food and eat slowly! Although it is very hard not to be able to eat what I want too, this is what I have been looking forward too--NOT BEING HUNGRY ALL THE TIME.
I have already lost 5 lbs since then and looking forward to the the weeks ahead! Now I agree, the band is wonderful:thumbup:
