I had 2.2 cc when NP measured before putting in first fill of 2cc. Total 4.2 cc. NP said "most likely" she will put in half a cc for 2nd fill. Just curious what other ppl received on their 2nd fill...

I got my first fill on the 27th, I don't feel restriction but I do burp more, more gas, and and crazy as it sound I find I want to eat more in between meals now. 2nd fill on the 16th :-)

I found out it was a seroma. Actually I had 2 small seromas. They are gone now :-)

Have a large bag full of jeans,dresses and a couple shirts. All are 22-24 or 3x

Had my first fill on the 27th due to have the 2nd fill on the 16th. I have 4.2 cc and NP already said it will probably be half a cc next time. Sure hope it make a small difference. I have no restrictions just a lot of bubbles now. I have noticed that I'm having problems remembering to not eat fast and put smaller portions in my mouth until its too late. I also noticed that I do feel like a LITTLE restriction when I eat oatmeal and cream of wheat but not with solids. Crazy, bcuz it's soft.

Yes. I have had chicken breast twice (which I don't even try anymore)

Hi I was banded May 16th, I have lost a total of 25lbs a couple sizes and about 4-5 inches. Please dont let loosing weight consume your brain like it did mine. My NP told tme to slow down because my skin may sag if I loose too fast. Believe it or not I don't see no difference. I figure 4 scales cant be lying lol. I also noticed that the more I paid attention to the scale the longer it stayed at the same weight AND I really didnt start loosing anything until I went to solids. I walk walk and walk somemore. I find reasons to take an extra few steps. I also drink 3-4 liters of water w/in a 24 hr period. Hope it helps some.

my husband exes including myself are on the heavy side. When I first got the surgery and told him I wanted to weigh 150 he said the same thing "you are gonna look sick, you wasnt that small when I met you, why you wanna be so little blah blah blah.....2sizes down later he is working out and watching what he eats. He has lost 9lbs on his own. He said he is not going to let me look good for the next man......TOTALLY SHOCKED ME!

HI, I guess I can say I was very blessed. I made an appt the end of March to get information about the lap band. I had my surgery May 16th. The only reason why it was that late was because it was moving to fast and I needed time to tell my job. Every story is different, I have lost 25 lbs in 45 days, 2sizes and 5 inches, I have had some complications that are now resolved and I dont regret it not one bit.

I cant stop laughing! I told my husband the same thing, he looked at me sideways.lol

that is really good to know. I am 45 days post op and down 25lbs, 2 sizes and about 5 inches. I just had my first fill 3 days ago and feel no different. If I lost weight with no restriction woo hooo to restriction. thanks

I havent been on since posting "just wanna kick myself in the arse". I have done some serious self evaluation and feel on top of the world! I was discouraged due to low self esteem, no support system, couldn't get a fill, finding out I had 2- 1cm seromas (like what the hell is that? right! my thoughts exactly. lol) and poor communication between surgeon and true results. Now 45 days post op I wouldn't do it over again but it made me stronger. When I went to my first fill I found out I lost 8 lbs more than where they expected me to be. 281 before, 260 on the 6/27th and 257 today-(5inches and 2 sizes down). I was told to slow down because loosing it too fast will cause my skin to sag. I was going 5 days a week from 5/27-6/20 for about an hour. I drink 2-4 liters of water OR crystal light a day. I would be lying if I said I eat right every single day so I will not lie I will not say what I eat or ate unless asked for everyone is different but I will say I ONLY DRINK WATER OR CRYSTAL LIGHT NOTHING ELSE! I eat lots and lots of fish. I decreased my gym activity before I was told to because my work load increased so I am still active. Since being told to go 2-3 times a week it seems like my motivation is leaving but the weight is still falling off. The few things I try to do are park far from stores (regardless of the heat) and I take the steps (no mater how long it takes me). So I strongly suggest being more active. Get a pedometer and challenge yourself. I still have trouble with my diet but Im starting to think if I did everything by the book I probaly would have lost double the weight, Oh well! I'm not perfect but I'm striving just to be better. I forgot to mention I had 2.2cc already in my 10cc band and 2cc was added. I don't feel any difference but I will be pateint.
