I went in this morning and had my first fill. 4cc's. I wasnt sure if Dr. Longoria was going to do an adjustment or not.

I was a bit nervous. I've been feeling a bit hungry between meals so I knew I was ready for a fill.

I had to lie back on the examining table and lift my feet. (to tighten my abs)

There was a pinch...just like getting any shot. He pulled the air out of the band first then filled it with the liquid. That was all.

I drank a large glass of water to show that I was able to get liquids through. Then I was free to go. I'll be on liquids today and soft mushies tomorrow morning.

I go back in 2 months. :tongue2:

I'll be watching for your next posts to see how you go. My first fill is on 9/11 and my doctor said I'd be getting 4cc in my 11 cc band. He said I may not feel much restriction afterwards but we have to take it slow. What does your band hold, do you know? I know at the moment, I'm could eat pretty much anything and any amount I wanted to - I was banded on 31 July. All the best to you post-fill. Mel

I also have an 11cc band. How did your fill go?

Hi there

All has gone well so far if a bit more slowly than I hoped. I'm keeping a pretty detailed journal on www.melaniematters.blogspot.com if you're interested.

I now have 7.5ml in the band and think that's almost enough.

Cheers

Melanie
