Thank you for your encourgement. I really needed that today. For the longest I wanted the band and I finally got it in Dec 2010. I was having my up and downs but I finally got my 1st fill and I seem to see a difference with only 2.5 cc in my band.

By seeing a big difference do you mean that you get full quick? But most of all does anything get stuck?? I just got my band Jan 2011 and had 4 cc in with was a mistake and everything got stuck and it was misserable. I have nothing in my band now and go for a fill on the 23rd. I dont want to have that awful feeling of every bite sending me to my knees.

I was overfilled once before also (I was banded in December 2010). It was my very first fill. It was absolutely TERRIBLE. Something got so badly stuck I had to rush to my doctor (throwing up all the way.) I didn't know what I was suppossed to feel like after a fill, so I made it three days before I couldn't take it anymore. I could barely breathe. I had some saline taken out, but not all. I have been losing weight and am satisfied eating a LOT less than before. Hopefully they will start with less this time, and you will definitely be able to tell what "good" feels like. I go back or another fill soon, but I might not even need it. I'm staying full for like 4 hours on not a lot of food.
