[swjtlongdrive 12]

Hello all. today is my 1 month since surgery date. I am feeling great and looking forward to my first fill on Wednesday this week. Hope everyone is doing well and I am looking forward to keeping up with this group going forward. I will do my best to keep posting on this thread and hope everyone else will as well. Nice to meet you all and good luck to all with this journey.

My surgery was 3-25 so I am not even 2 weeks out yet, but I am excited for you about your fill. My surgery seems a long time ago! I have been back at work for over a week and feel pretty "normal" (exept that I am still on liquids!) I feel great and don't have any issues with eating (don't think I have any restriction at all!) FIrst follow up apt is Friday so we will see where it goes from that.

Be sure and post after your fill and let us know how it is!

I was banded on 3/11. I will go for my 1st fill on Monday. I feel as if I am not restricted. I can eat almost anything. Has this happened to anyone else? Good luck on your fill.

I was banded on March 8 and have had 2 fills so far. I didn't notice any restriction with the first fill of 3cc but the 2nd fill of 2cc I do feel some restriction. I go back on May 20 for my 3rd fill.

I go for my second fill a week from today. I've had very little restriction if any since my first fill. I lost a few pounds the days following the first fill but havent lost any since. My dietician says this is completely normal and to try and just maintain. Once I have restriction is when I will start to see the changes occur. To say I am impatient awaiting this feeling would be an understatement. I am trying my best but as the dietician says during this unrestricted time, try not to eat the cabinet doors. LOL. Hopefully fill #2 will help. Dr. says 3-5 fills before the sweet spot is found. We'll have to see.
