Hi all, I just want to know what happens at the eval? What exactly is the shrink ask? Sorry if this is a silly question but im just trying to get prepared for every stage. Tamika :help::cry

I went for my first fill yesterday and it was exactly as described by the earlier Double V's. I had to actually ask my doctor what size band I had, duh! With all the excitement of the surgery and recovery, I forgot what he told me.LOL:blink: I have a VG 10cc band. Dr Jacob added 3 cc's for the first fill and said if I didnt feel any different for me to come back next Friday and he would add another CC, otherwise he would see me in a month. When I drank the Water I thought "I have to make this appt for next week, i dont feel a thing :sad:". By the time I got home, I felt different, cant explain what I felt, besides to call it different. Since I hadnt eaten at all at this point I reached for a yogurt and boy-oh-boy it took 15-20 minutes to eat and i was full.:thumbup: I waited and waited for nausea or something but nope just a full feeling is what i had! AWESOME!:w00t: How long does restriction last?

coolcrystal, that is the suction thing i was trying to explain! wonderful analogy. Michelle, I didnt feel a "popping" when the needle went in the port. Dont be nervous, WE CAN DO THIS!!

Coolcrystal, Yes I felt the gurgle, suction feeling?!? It was really wierd but cool all in the same breath, Lori, That hunger feeling is gone, thank goodness! My stomach was growling like mad, i didnt know how much more Bandster hell i could take?! I love my band more and more

:thumbup::thumbup::biggrin2: I love my BAND :thumbup::cursing::biggrin2: That is all.

Every single time I find something I was going to through out or donate because it was too small, I try it just in case. Everytime I fall more in love with this tool. Even if the clothes fit snug, it just validates my choice.

I purchased some jeans last summer(for the fall)they fit really nice. Well when I went to wear them they were to small :angry_smile: . Well i tried those same jean on last night and they FIT!! Yippee, I love my band! I have them on right now.

5 weeks post-op for me march 28, YIPPEE!
