August Bandsters Did you get your 2nd Fill Yet?

[k9momma56 1]

I was scheduled for my first fill today & discussed it with the Dr that I didn't feel I needed one. He agreed since I have been consistent with my weight loss & to come back in 4 weeks. I'm wanting to hold out as long as I can since I'm currently satisfied with my progress. I do have some restriction in my 14 cc band without any fills. I call it my leash because it definitely will rein me back in if I go too far.

I had my 2nd fill yesterday Oct. 3. The PA added .5 cc. At surgery on Aug. 11, the doc filled it with 5cc. I have a 10cc band. I'm now at 5.5 cc and I have lost 20lbs. Since surgery. I did notice right before my 2nd fill I was able to eat more and getting hungy more often. Now I'm right at my Sweet Spot, I get satisfied on just a little amount and eat 3x a day, Breakfast is always a Protein Shake so really I'm just eating 2 regular meals a day. I have never been stuck (knock wood) and can eat almost anything. I just can't eat alot of it.

I was banded 8/1/11. I got my first fill of 3cc on 9/15/11. I could tell a difference, but I am totally ready for my 2nd fill. It is set for 10/20/11. I feel like I can eat more than I should. I do get full and definitely can't eat like I used to, but I would feel comfortable with more restriction.

What is the liquid capacity a band can hold?? 10cc's? I now have 3 cc's and I go back in 4 weeks. If I am losing weight I dont know if my doctor will give me a fill. He thinks all is good if the weight is coming off!

I have a 14cc band

Surgery was Aug 14th (14cc band), first fill was Sept 8th with 3cc, 2nd fill Oct 4th 2cc added. Wondering if I am still swollen or not. I stuck with liquids till tonight and grabbed one of my toddlers plates and put a little dinner on there. I got that yucky feeling (like someone punching you HARD in your chest!), so I started chewing a bit more and then I just quit eating. Maybe its due to swelling but hoping its some restriction We will see what the next few days hold. But I tell you what, I'm getting those sweet tooth cravings, but remembering how painful things were earlier is keeping my hand away from my mouth!

Hi all,

I just got my second fill... she only put .5 cc in but I had lost 16lbs in the 6 weeks since my last fill. I will take the .5cc and see how this next 6 weeks go! Good Luck to everyone!

my surgey was 8/15/11. My first fill was 9/8 and it was 1cc i felt no restriction so i went back on 9/20 and had .5cc put it and i have been losing weight but mostly due to will power because i feel zero restriction and im always hungry. I go back 10/11 and hopefully it helps.

Had my 3rd fill on Saturday, I'm up to 9ccs in a 14. Back on solids today and I'm not really feeling much. I did lose between my 2nd and 3rd fill, and felt some restriction, but it went away by sat and so far today I don't really feel a difference first fill was 4cc, 2nd 4ccs, third 1cc. Ugh. The first couple days after fill #2 felt different than today after #3. I thought I would have more restriction but don't feel anything.
