Hi: My name is Sharon and I was banded on June 12, 2006. I have had a wonderful experience so far. For the first 4 wks I would say, I felt totally satisfied all the time. I had 4oz per meal other than in the AM and at that time I did a protein drink. I never felt urges for different food and I felt perfectly sated at all times. I never felt hunger even one time. I am having to wait until 8 wks for a fill which is next week on Wednesday and I am really ready, at about 6 wks I began to feel hunger just before time to eat, usually around 3:30 to 4:30 in the evening and then again around 10PM or so. I try to always stick to the 4 oz portions, but I really could eat more at this time. I just want to get that feeling back when it was so new in the first 4 wks. I hope the fill will do that for me, if not I will be having another one really soon. I did not do this so I can struggle, I was doing that just fine without surgery. Hope everyone is doing well with their band and I wish you all good luck and tight bands. Sharon
