Please someone answer my question , o.k i have a 10cc band in . my surgery was nov 10th. my first fill was a month later, my dr. put 1cc in . then a month later he put in 5cc"s .I told him that this 1cc thing just isn't doing it for me. so i asked him not to only put 1 in ,because thats how he likes to do it. a little at a time. anyways here i am with 6cc's in my 10 band and really don't feel any different than having 1cc in band. I have lost weight (20pds) but i just don't feel like the band is tight. as crazy as it sounds i want to have that feeling like i'm going to throw up so i at least know the my band is really working. If i have a band that is a10 cc what happens when its got all 10cc's in it because i only have room for 4 more and your still fighting being hungry. Plus i'm only in it so far two months. thank you anyone that can help me, can't turn my brain off.

Can anyone please tell me , can your port come undone??? i go back to see my Dr. jan. 6th and i feel a burning in stomach where my port is supose to be , but i don't feel it there. I'm getting kinda scared.

I know every Doctor does things different, but i had my surgery one month ago today. Everything went great and i have no regrets at all. I do want to know ,when you get your first fill, which i got yesterday am i the only one out there that got 1cc put in my band for the first time?? My Doctor said he likes to put in a little at a time to make sure that you don't have any problems. I kinda feel like i did before my fill. a bit hungry. I have to wait a month for my next fill, because of the Hoiliday and the Dr. will be on vacation I guess i was so excited about my first fill, but don't feel any different. Has anyone else only had 1 cc for first fill ???

I am having a hard time with thinking that i mess up.i had surgery nov 10 and will have my first fill dec 13, two weeks after i saw my Dr. he told me that i could eat. i asked him how come i didnt feel like throwing and he told me it was because i wasn't filled yet. So the last two weeks i have eaten and drink my water not (sip) gulp !! so now i am freaking out because somethings i have read said that if you do that yuor stomach will strech right where your band is. so my mine is going crazy i think i messed everything up.

I just had my band put in nov.10th 2010, now i know ihaven't had a fill yet, but i am hungry. is this because i don't have any fluid in my band to make it tight ?

Hi cari, my name is cynthia and i just joined lap band talk tonight. i am very new at this computer stuff so bear with me . I just had my band put in on Nov. 10th2010. and will be getting my first band fill dec 13th.It took about 5months for ins. to appove my surgery. I live in az. and had my surgery in vegas. So far everything is going great. I had no problems. I might not be the right person that you want to hear from seeing that i just had the band put in, but i say girl just do it. I know for me i am so ready to feel healthier. I am a good 100pds over weight, and my body hurts ,my knees are killing me,etc. etc. I will say the procedure was really a breeze.no pain and they have you walking the same day a few hours after surgery. I did stay over night in the hospital,my ins allowed that. I don't know if you have talked to your dr. about it, but for me i had to see my primary dr.every month and had to go see the surgeon every month for 5months. your ins. company will want you to have other test dont, to see how your frame of mind is like if you deal with depression , have a stress treadmill test, blood work, sleep test,. Thats what mind did your ins, might be different. so i hope that i have helped a little bit ,and that you get this message ,like i said i'm new at this computer. lol take care and hope to talk again some time
