So I had a hard time yesterday...but I am soo much better now. I can drink but if I drink too big a sip it hurts and sits a bit..i was able to eat some yogurt and pureed soup. Im feeling my fill should be ok now..I forgot once and took a big sip and it was painful..! Im still worried my band isnt right after the vomiting episode..I need peace of mind!

My Doc Only Gives 1 Cc (Max) Fills Per Month. Same For Everybody?
Banderina replied to wifeoffireman2's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I got a first fill of 4cc in my 10cc band ..i think its aggressive...i had some issues and pain..but next day and its better..knowing what I know now 2cc or 3cc for first fill would have been better. He always does 4cc and said I wld be fine..im adjusting but if you asked me yesterday I felt as if I wld never eat again! Im happy its adjusting and im feeling better. Ive opted to see how it goes and not run back for an unfill.. -

Food Taste Different
Banderina replied to Lyoness82's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Certain things im craving..like frozen pizza..no idea why..and tuna pasta salad..once I get a taste im good..my wt loss has stalled..cant wait for a fill to get me back on track. I was losing half lb to one lb a day before mushies..i wish I never ate mashed potatos..and made better mushy food choices. But food isnt as exciting as it used to be.. I get alot of head hunger.. -
First fill? Assuming your band is empty...
-
Im going on wednesday for my first fill at 5 weeks. He told me my band is empty..i dont know if it was "primed" ive been sore ever since vomiting and am concerned I hope its all ok...i have a 10cc band
-
Hurt your band? I got a stomach bug and ended up vomitting hard...like heaving..dry heaving..it wasnt pretty...The only thing that helped me was half carbonated ginger ale..only a half glass. I was sore around my sternum for days..Im praying I didnt hurt the band or port or anything! Ugh.
-
Thank you for all your insight and advice!
-
I have no fills yet...so I shld be ok?

I think a small amount once in awhile is fine. I dont see how that could hurt .. But thats just my opinion.. -
