I got my first fill today. Does it take effect ASAP or does it take time. I ate a reg dinner. Stopped myself from over-eating because I wasnt sure how the fill would affect me. I did NOT feel full sooner..............

what the hell is going on?:confused::ohmy::confused::smile:

do u know how many CC's you have?

when i had my first fill about 6 weeks ago they injected 3CC, i did feel wiered when i was told to drink 2 glasses of water before leaving the office. It felt tight. I was also told to go back to the mushy diet for 2-3 days.

right know for me it doesnt feel like a have any restriction. I do get full alot faster -vs- before the band.

I have my 2nd fill on thurs, i am hoping this one will get me closer to my sweetspot and the pounds start coming off.

I have to call the doc and see how many CC's I have.... This band has not worked since I got it 11-17-09. I am regretful

It takes about three fills to get to a sweet spot! You should stay on liquids ONLY for 24 hours after a fill, or you will stretch the band out and it will do you no good! I don't have anything but liquids for 24 hours and then soups and soft food for a couple of more days after that, and that really kick starts the weight loss after the fill, then I progress to the low carb, high protein diet I have been on since the surgery. Those carbs can really kill your diet, if they are breads and pastas and fruits that are starchy and sugary and turn to fat quickly. Log all your food daily, people who do lose weight 50% faster than those that don't. Good luck to you and keep up the fight, growl and hang on, your body will drop the weight soon.
