I would like to know how many cc did it take to make u feel like u wasn't hungry. I just got my first fill 3 days ago and I swear I don't feel any difference!

Hi Maddy167 i know what u mean, I have 7 cc but I have been eating like crazy its my fault tho I was really doing well but then I lost my mom 6 months ago and thats when everything went down hill. I am sure I have gained some of my weight back I like always use food as a confort but the good thing is that I made an appt to see my doc I haven't seen her for the same amount of time 6 months. I just hope that I can get back to it. Hope things get better for the both of us and everyone else who continue stuggling.

When to see the doctor today I got my first fill I am so excited at first she couldn't find the port but after a few tries she found it. My band was empty so she put 3cc hope all goes well. Wanted to know if everyones band is empty when they got their surgery.

just wondering when can I start taking regular not chewable vitamins. I am 2 months post up I just had my second fill and I forgot to ask my doctor!

its weird because I mentioned to my doctor that I have been losing some of my hair and she asked me to get Hair and Nails vitamins which I did but they are really big I took it and it went down right but I forgot to ask her about take vitamins that are not chewable if I can swallow those pills which are huge I'm sure I can swallow the vitamins.

WOW congrats I am 2 months post op have lost 23 pounds hope I am as successful as u are congrats again. Any advice on how to achieve my goal I just had my second fill two days ago I have 5cc in my 10 cc band but I still don't feel restriction.

that sucks so are u saying that u only have 2cc in ur band and u had ur surgery in May? I didn't have anything in my band after surgery but my first fill was 3cc and I hope when I go back she at least puts 2cc more cause I really don't have time for every month visit to .5cc I mean come on i could understand if u was feeling restricted but not if u feel u can eat the same as before like i do.

eating small portions without restriction

I want to be clear that I am patient and I am losing weight however the band is suppose to help us but it hasn't start helping me as of yet. I only had the band for 5 weeks tomorrow and i did get my first fill my problem is that the first fill didn't make any difference I thought I would feel a little less hungry. Or feel full a little sooner but not yet! I will wait to see if my next one will make a difference. We all made the decision to get band so it can help us I mean I am losing because I am working hard. I eat healthier than before and I started the gym going 4 days a week but its' all me doing. I just want to be able to eat a small portion and feel satisfy what's wrong with that **** that's why I got this surgery. I know I have to wait but I've been waiting too long first to get the surgery and now to feel restricted. I wonder why they don't put more cc at a time, instead I have to wait a month to probably get half cc like seriously this piss me off..

I'm glad I am not the only one who feels this way!

I know everyone is different I was just wondering because my band was empty and my doc put 3 cc and i don't feel the difference just wanted to know if anyone felt the same as me. I would think 3cc is a lot but maybe I am wrong I do have a 10cc band.. It was just a question if u dont want to answer that's fine!!!!!

I was banded on October 4th and today was my first fill I don't feel the difference yet tho

I was also wondering why is the reason u have to be on liquids after fills?

I will try that thank you, good luck to you too..

Just made one month post op yesterday but feeling discourage to the point that I forget I even have this thing. I really hope I get my first fill soon!

3 days is long enough trust me I did it!

3 days is long enough trust me I did it!

well I was suppose to be on liquids for 3 week which was impossible at least for me so I started soft food on day 6 I spoke with my doctor who stated it was ok for me to do so. I am 1 month post op.. good luck to us all!!

3 meals per day! I have it in writing that is why I am feeling so discourage don't get me wrong I have lost weight but I have been eating more than 2 oz. I don't know if they made a mistake but that is what it says... Will call my surgeon tomorrow! <br /><br /><br />

Thanks for all the comments I do appreciate them all. My frustration is not that I'm not losing weight because I have lost some weight is from the amount of food that I eat, I was told to eat 2oz of food but that's not enough. I try and eat healthy my problem is the portion! for example I can eat salad everyday but it will be a bowl not 2oz that's why I get discourage I know I haven't gotten a fill yet but still I feel I should be able to just eat the portion I was told... For the person who commented about if I did research before I had the surgery duh I am not going to have a surgery done without doing my research also this is not a one day process it was a 7 month process for me so please don't go there!!! I do want to lose weight not because I don't think I don't look good because I know I am beautiful and love myself FAT or skinny I did this so I can lose some weight and stop taking my meds.. I just want to eat a little and feel full whether and lose or not that's it.. I just want to take a couple of bites and feel FOOL!

I have a question how many hours a week do you work out in the gym. I will be joining Planet fitness this week and was wondering how many hours a week should I do.

Thank you good luck to you too.. I know the feeling about 10 years ago I lost 110 lbs but then gained it all plus 30 back now I have the lap band and hope I can lose weight and keep it off.

Thank you I will start slow!

You are lucky because I was banded on 10/4 and I can eat more than 4 oz of food I can't wait to get my fill which I don't know when that will be but hopefully soon...
