BOB052212 22 Posted May 26, 2012 I was banded in 5.22.12, today I had a serving of cream of wheat about 9am and still full at this very moment. Of course I have not had a full as of yet, but intend to get the fill as soon as I am allowed. I would get the first one and decide on any future fills after that! I kinda think alot has to do with which band they use, there are two, one is smaller than the other, my surgeon told me he used the smaller of the two on me.

judych 225 Posted May 27, 2012 How many people have restriction without any fills in there band. I was banded on May 9th and still do not have a appetite. I go for my first filk june 6th. Wondering if i really need it. i was banded on the 22.03. i had some restriction even though there was no fill at the time of surgery. ive now had 3ccs inserted, i do have a bit more restriction now than before. thats good you arent going through hell because of appetite. keep up the instructions on fluids that you have been given though. thats very important.

Jackie's girl 32 Posted May 27, 2012 So is it the restriction that helps you not feel hungry? I'm confused on that one. I just had surgery 2 weeks ago and I just got my hunger back yesterday. I am transitioning to mashies and I ate today. It was weird I felt full, as though i was full on top of the band, but my stomach was still growling and felt empty in the bottom. Does that make any sense? It did not satisfy my hunger and I was very frustrated, but I could,not eat anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
