Well I finally got some measurements done yesterday. I have known that I lost inches but did not measure until yesterday. I am down 3 1/2 inches around the waist and 4 1/2 inches around the hips. My arms have remained the same. I am down 27 pounds since October 1st, 2009. I can't see the difference but other people can. So that makes me happy. I will be even more happy when I start seeing the difference. :wink2:

I have never heard of any doctor doing this. It would really scare me having so much at one time. I had my 1st fill of 2.5 cc's and I had to go back and have .5 ccs removed and still had trouble. The nurse wanted me to come back and have more removed but I did not. I was unable to eat or drink for 4 days until the .5 cc's was removed. Be careful.

I had my 1st fill and I could not eat or drink anything for 4 days. I could not even sip water either. He only put in 2.5 cc's, he removed .5 cc's. I was able to drink with no problems but when I went to eat I had alot of pain. It started near my chest and then I would get pain in my right shoulder. It has been over a week and for the most part I can eat now. I think I am going to be on a liquid diet for one week after I get my next fills. The good part about not being able to eat or drink for the 4 days was I lost 9 pounds. Good luck to you!

Hello everyone. Well it has been over 1 week since I had some fluid removed from my band. I am at 2cc's. I am finally able to eat again. I think from here on out I am going to be on a liquid diet for a week after I receive fills. The pain is just to much if I attempt to eat anything. Feeling much better now. I also gave myself my 1st B shot today. :w00t:

I had my first fill 6 weeks after my surgery. I could not eat or drink for 4 days. When I went back to doctor he stated he only put in 2.5cc's, he then removed .5 cc's of fluid. I was able to start drinking immediately. Now I am still having trouble with food. Even soft foods, I will eat a small bite then I get instant pain around my chest and then it goes to my right shoulder. Then pain is really bad. I am calling doctor tomorrow but would like to know if anyone else has experienced this?

Have you experienced any pain from the fill? I had my first fill and I could not eat or drink for 4 days. I went back and he removed .5 cc and was able to drink. I can eat very little. I experience a lot of pain in my chest then it goes to my right shoulder. The pain is very bad.

You have nothing to be nervous about for the psych appt. As far as the other appointment I'm sorry I don't know what that is. The psych appt was very simple and easy they just ask basic questions. You will be fine.:thumbup:
