First Fill under my belt FINALLY...

[JanicaPeterson 0]

This coming monday I will be 8 weeks post op, and I just today got my first fill... I was TERRIFIED of having it done, I thought it was going to hurt like none other.... But it actually just felt as if some one had pinched me in the tummy....

They put 5 cc's into my 11 cc band.... and I am scheduled to go back in 2 weeks for another fill....Im not afraid anymore...

I cant wait to see the numbers on the scale moving again... YAYYYY:lol:

Congrats! I'm still gonna be nervous going into my first fill lol. I'm on 2 weeks post surgery though got a while.

Awesome. Fills aren't really that big of a deal. Just be careful the first few days after. Some foods might not be as cooperative. I've had 2 fills so far. I'm up to 7.4 in a 14cc band.

I just had my first fill on Wednesday at 5 weeks post op. I was also nervous at first but it went smoothly. I don't go back until 4 more weeks. I had 1 cc in during surgery and only had 1/2 cc on Wednesday for a total of 1.5 cc in my 10 cc band! I am so hungry still! I am more hungry than I was prior to having the fill. Is this normal?

I go in on Sept 10th for my first fill and I can't wait! I HOPE my doctor will put in at least 3 or 4 because Im soooo hungry all the time. 1 or 2 cc's probably won't do anything for me.

Hi Amber,

My 1st fill is the 1st and he told me they typically put in 3cc's, I have no idea how big my band is, do you? I am starting to get really hungry as well, but really make the right food choices and my running has really made me feel good. How are you doing?
