Hello and Congrats on getting the band. I am actually 3 weeks post op and I would say that I started to get hungry when all the swelling went down so probably like a week later. I think most of it was head hunger from seeing everybody else eat but I def started to feel it in the 2nd week.

I was hungry when I woke up from surgery... I cant say that the band has helped with my feelings of hunger but it has helped me not eat so much and has reduced the amount I eat over all.

My hunger came back 3 weeks post op. I wasn't prepared for it ( after not experiencing it for a couple if weeks ). But it makes me plan my meals so that I can make wise choices.

tomorrow I will be 2 weeks post op and i have no restriction. I am getting "kinda" hungry... But I think its because that was my old habit.. when i wasnt busy

I was eating- ya know.

Hang in there!

I am 8 weeks post-op and still have not experienced hunger again. I check with my doctor at 6 weeks when I got my 2nd fill and they said that is ok. I love not having hunger, I am dreading getting it back :)

I'm 4 weeks out... and now I'm starting to feel hungry. I do pretty good during the day...but at dinner, I'm really starting to notice I'm able to eat more than I expected. I haven't had a fill yet... I suppose feeling hungry is a sign it's probably time for that fill. I don't have an apt yet ... so maybe I should be calling my Dr. soon and check in with him.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
