Hi! A fill is when the band is tightened. It restricts your food intake. I just had my first fill monday. It wasn't bad at all. You just have to eat mush for about 3 days. :hungry:

Hi! I am 54 and was banded on January 8, 2007. I have lost 2 to 5 lbs a week but not every week. Some weeks I think your body just has to adjust to your new way of eating. I have lost 20 lbs. and I have been able to eat everything so far. I still didn't have a fill. I think I have been very lucky. I wish the same for you and all the banders.:mad:

Hi all, I just got home around noon today. My surgery was yesterday at 7:30 am. Thank God all went extremely well. I was walking around by 11:00 am. I think it had a lot to do with the anesthesiologist. I told him that I have a bad reaction with anesthesia, it makes me dizzy and vomit. I also told him about the gas problems everyone had mentioned and he said he could take care of it and he did. No dizziness, no vomiting and no gas problems.:clap2: I am on a liquid diet this week :hungry: and a puree diet next week I will keep you all informed.

Hi, My surgery is 6:30 am Monday and what can I say :faint: I am a little nervous. Does anyone know how long the surgery takes???

Congrats!!!!!!! My surgery is tomorrow. It is very comforting to hear everything went well. God Bless!!!!!

My Surgery is tomorrow at 6:30 AM. How do I become a January bander?

Thank you for the reply and the encouragment i need it today.

I just got the call form the hospital I have to be in by 6:30 am Monday.

Thanks for the support.........I'll let you know how it went as soon as I can. From what I have been reading it seems to be the biggest problem everyone is having is the gas. I'm glad to know this before the surgery, so I can get the gas-x now.

Hi, My lap-band surgery is Monday January 08, 2007, and i am feeling a little anxious.:faint:
