I wanted to touch base with you and find out how your fill went on the 21st. I had mine on the 26th and it went well! I found out that my doc put 3cc's in my band during surgery, putting me to 5cc's total (with my most recent fill of 2cc's). He normally does 3 cc's on the first fill but I was leaving for vacation and didn't want to be too tight. I hope yours went well and the weight loss is continuing! Have a great weekend! :thumbup:

Glad it went well! Wow, that's an aggressive fill schedule...I'm jealous! I'd ask your doc next time: which type of band (LB or Realize), which size (LB comes in APS = Standard = 10cc, or APL = Large = 14cc and Realize comes in 4cc or 9cc I believe), and exactly how much fill you have (not just how much you had at your last fill, but most docs put a 'primer' fill in at surgery = about 2cc's and it's just enough to fill your port and tubing, mine did not do this). It's important to know in case you traveling and need an emergency unfill and I've seen several here that realized they had a leak (some docs take all the fill out before they add more just so they can check this...yes, your doc should know, but some caught this when their docs didn't). Also I've seen some here that have had a LOT of fills and unfills and by asking each time how much was added they get to know how much they need in or out. Sounds like you'll be at your Sweet Spot soon! Awesome WL! Hang in there! -BG

Hey banded Sept 14th Ill be your buddy I went to the monthly deal but only found one person that would respond. I get on at least every couple of days. I had my first fill yesterday and down 21 lbs since the preop diet. My scale says more like 27 lol. Keep in touch Buddy Hope your doing well.

Please get checked out if the Nexium doesnt work. My dad had esophageal cancer. That type of cancer goes straight to your liver and then theres little that can be done. His Dr did not completely check him out and prescribed nexium for it When actually it was a bigger issue then that. I dont think you have cancer but it is always best to get checked out. Also my dad was a heavy smoker which did not help. He had just turned 60 when he passed away. Just please g

Thanks for the comment. First fill yesterday....soft foods today.....dont really feel much restriction yet. He put in 4cc in my large band. Not sure how much my band holds. Dr. said Id be in there every 2 to 3 weeks for fills instead of every month which Im really glad about hopefully get to my sweet spot sooner. Good news is lost another 9 lbs since my last appt. For a total of 21 lbs down since wt before preop diet. 21 lbs down since first of August. Im pleased. Love your blogs!!

Love your blog!!! Newly banded Sept 14th...first fill the 21st of this month. Have lost around 24 lbs from all the presurg diets and all. Was keeping a log of eating and keeping track of calories not doing that gonna start doing it again today keeping between 1200 and 1500 cal gives me a good even wt loss. What I want to say is I'm totally with you on losing the weight slow and forming new habits and keeping it OFF! Im trying to form new habits and am looking forward to my first fill, but I am definitely with you I am not gonna let my self get filled so much that I will not be able to eat anything with in reason!! Your awesome!! Love your blogs!! Congrats on all your success so far!!

Things have been going great. Surgery was a piece of cake for me. I just need to stay focused on my diet and exercise until my first fill also. I definately need to exercise a little more. I haven't gained either but it seems like the weight loss has slowed the past week. I will receive my first fill on October 26, so I have some work to do until then. (Second fill will be 2 weeks later).
