Hi, how is everyone doing? This is my first thread! :)

I was banded on August 16, 2007 by Dr. Seger in San Antonio, Texas. It has been a little over a week since my surgery and I have lost 12lbs. I have my post-op apppointment on Aug. 30!

I have been doing okay on liquids, but I do get hungry (especially in the evenings)! How long did you have to wait to get your first fill? :huggie:

I am worried that once I start eating, I will eat too much because I don't feel restricition yet. Did this happen to any of you?

Congrats On Your Banding And Your 12 Lbs Lost..that Is Really Good....i Had To Wait 6 Weeks For A Fill And I Get One Every Six Weeks....the First Fill Did Not Give Me A Lot Of Restriction, But The Second One Did....the Third Was Just A Small Fill Because I Had Lost 9 Lbs In Six Weeks..and They Didn't Think I Needed Much Of A Fill....i Have Lost 50 Lbs Since April...i Am Very Happy With The Band...i Would Do It All Over Again...best Thing I Ever Did For Myself...

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
