A lot of people don't feel restriction with their first fill...I hope you do though! I personally didn't reach good restriction until fill # 5!

For me I think it was fill #6 or 7, and six months after surgery before I really had restriction. The wait was frustrating, but since I finally reached restriction it's been smooth sailing!

For me it was three fills. I too felt a lot of hunger until then. Don't be discouraged. The fills will work, just need to be patient.

Another big thing is WHEN you get on Solids , don't eat too soon after & make sure you eat some sort of meat Protein. This helps me stay full longer. I rty to wait 40 min atleast befor eI drink :-)

I can honestly say I feel restriction now. I have 5ccs in an 11cc realize band and this was fill #1.

Thanks to all who have replied thus far. I must admit that at first I think I was eating too big of a bite and eating too fast. Then I corrected those problems. I am evaluating everything I eat now and I am at the point where I am now scared when I eat (is there anybody else like this).

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
