Banded 4/20/06

[Julz 0]

Hi Everyone! I'm new to this site. I was banded by Dr. Ortiz in Tijuana Mexico on April 20, 2006. Boy the surgery is a breeze compared to the liquid diet that follows! I'm battling it ok. My presurgery weight was 263 and I am currently weighing in at 242. I guess the rapid loss of weight it making the liquids easier to consume:p. I am just now starting to feel a little more hungry.

Do most people have a fill 6-8 weeks post-op? I feel I might. But, I'm afraid it will be too tight:cry . If anyone can help me with this question, that'd be great!

Hi Julie, Welcome! My Dr. said he would not fill meuntil I am 8 weeks out. I too am suffering the post op liquids. I don't find myself truly hungry, but the "head hunger" is killer!!! I can imagine (and remember) how good it tastes to bite into certain things. Oh well, this too shall pass I keep thinking!!! Good Luck to you!!!
