I just went for my 2nd fill today i now have 7.0cc in my 10.cc band . i also stopped by starbuck and had a frapp. today and it took ne over 3 hours to drink it . It feels alot different than the first fill , I can hardly sip anything . I did have soup for lunch and maybe was able to get 5 or 6 spoons down . I will give it a few days and hopefully when i start back on food I will be able to eat.

2- 1/2 month update I have been doing very well with my band so far. I had my first fill last month of 6.0 cc in a 10.0 cc band . I dont really feel much restriction but I am still able to control the amount I eat . I was doing better in the beginning with the walking and water intake than i am now but i am trying to push myself to pay attintion and do better Here are a couple of pics that i think you can tell a that i am making some changes Banded 1-17-07 Dr. Larson West Palm Beach , Florida starting weight 268 current weight 232 goal weight 150 :clap2:

Add me to the challenge I need all the support i can get Priscilla 1/17/2007 Banded 2/20/2007 1st fill 5cc VG 10cc Band Dr. Larson West Palm Beach , FL

I had my first fill on tuesday of this week and oh man did it kick my butt the first two days ..... i could hardly put anything down as far as liquids , it is day three now and i feel like a new person today .... the fill was painless so i see no need to be worried next time , good luck to everyone Priscilla Dr Larson WPB , FL surgery date 1/17/2007 first fill 2/19/2007 5.0 cc VG Band

I also have a Vg band , I had my surgery on 1-17-07 next week i go for my first fill , my Dr told me that he would be putting in 6cc to start off with .... Banded 1-17-2007 1st fill 2-20-2007 Dr. Adrew Larson West Palm Beach Fl

I paid , ( well my wonderful parents paid ) $15, 600 for surgery , I have BB shield and they do not cover any weight loss procedure.... this will include a year of fills and support groups and any meetings i would like to attend ... it was well worth every penny :clap2:

I have been reading about how everyone gets around 1.5 cc for the first fill , well my Dr wants to put in 5 cc / 6 cc on the first fill ... doesnt that seem a like a little much , anyone else have so much placed at one time ? I have a 11cc vangaurd band

Back from the DR and he says that all is well , I have lost 19lbs .....yeah He gave me the go ahead to start on solid foods slowly, for Dinner I am having small bites of pork chop, mashed potatoes/ gravy and green beans wow this is the best meal i have had in a while , i go back on 2/20 for my first fill and he said that at that time he would like to put 5 to 6 cc in and I just about fell over, he told me that I have an 11cc vangaurd band that actually will hold about 12 / 13 cc with some of the fill in the tubing , I am going to injoy the lossness while I can since it sounds like he is going to get me nice and filled

good morning everyone, tomorrow will be two weeks post surgery for me , I go to the Dr. today for my first check up , so far my scale says that I have lost 20 lbs. I am just hopefull that the scale will say the same thing at the Dr's office. I am definetly noticing my clothes are getting much looser , yesterday I had a pair of jeans on that didn't look like they belonged to me , since they were so big in the butt and legs , I think I will keep wearing them until I can put them on without opening the button , that will be kinda fun , lucky for my family that should be within the next week or two ... Keep up the good work to everyone

Oh yes it has been 8 days since my surgery and I have been walking around like a hog burping , It just comes up and there is no stopping it for me , and I have never been one to burp or pass gas like that so i am just thankful that i am having it some from the mouth and not my a**.

:clap2: Well I have to pat my self on the back, it has been six days and i have never felt better in my life. Thinking back to last week at this time I was about to have a nervous breakdown, and now I look back and wonder why I even worried. Things are going great .... I have lost about 10 lbs in just a week but more so I think the inches are melting away . I hurried and got out a bag of clothes I had to give away since they didnt fit and what do you know I have about three new pairs of pants to wear for a while . I have to thank my Parents for giving me such a wonderful gift , without them I could have never done this .
