I was banded in Sept 07 and had my first fill at 7 weeks post-op. I felt restriction right away and noticed that I was eating very little. I actually had a hard time eating my three small meals. I was never really "hungry" and skipped breakfast usually. I didn't lose much weight at first, the nurse at my surgeons office said that it was because my metabolism was slowing down because I wasn't eating enough. I stated to have a very small breakfast and in the six weeks since then I've lost 15 pounds. Lately I've been eating alot more and not feeling satisfied for longer than three hours. I have my second fill tomorrow afternoon. The dr said he'll try a 1cc "booster" and we can see if that makes a difference. |
