1st Fill Questions
All my Doctor asked me was "You sure you want this" - he of course was joking.
IMHO As long as you're doing everything correct, you shouldn't be concerned of any question asked.

...they wanted to know how often i was eating, if i was avoiding drinking with food, and the volume of food I was consuming...feeling of fullness or restriction...am I chewing as well as I should, etc...that's all. It's not a test; they just need to see how much to put in and if you even need the fill.
Thanks again for the responses :) I went for my appointment but they decided to wait another 2 weeks until we did the first fill since I had a few complications with the surgery. I was disappointed that I didn't get a fill to help with my hunger, but they did tell me i've lost 20 lbs since my surgery 3 weeks ago!!
CONGRATS SEXI_LEXI !!! YOU doing sooooo well !!
MY DOCTOR's opinion - no need to do a fill until your weight slows down, stops or you begin to eat too much (and begin gaining) - HOWEVER EVERY DOCTOR has their own philosophy.
All I am saying is - if at the next appointment you still don't get a fill - don't be too worried. That means your Doctor think's your rocking the band and may not need it ... YET !!

Thanks for the support everyone! I hope it keeps going quick. I can't tell a difference yet, but a few people have said that they notice.
Tom: I thought that tightening would help with my hunger. I get hungry about an hour after eating. I'm doing the very best that I can, so that means no cheating. Not cheating just means that i'm pretty much hungry my entire day. Maybe i'm not drinking enough liquids??
