Ok I got bandeds oct 19th. I had my first fill today which was 3 cc's in a 10 cc band. My doc said I can eat as normal today. I am not hungry yet but I was wondering should I expect anything different now?

I never felt anything for almost 2 weeks after a fill...and then all of a sudden I'd get tighter. Experiences vary.

I never felt any kind of restriction til around 4.5cc so you might not feel any different....go slowly in eating in case it kicks in unexpectedly!!!!

I did not really see much restriction until 7 cc's. Clearly you should follow your doctors rules. My doctor directs to have 24 hrs full liquids and then 24 hrs mushies so that while your stomach is reacting to tightened band you are not irritating it with solids/hard foods. I work from home so I don't have to worry about eating in public after a fill. If I was eating at work after a fill and was concerned I would probably go with mushies for the first couple days.

Thanks for the replys. But my docor has me on no restriction. He says eat until you are full. but I am going to take it easy for a few days until I see whay happens. He did say the min that I stop loosing or I feel like I can eat to much to come back right away for a fill.
