Holy Smokes!!!! First Lap Band Fill

[JinTx 19]

Got my first fill. I somehow managed to drop nearly 10 pounds in nov. I have no idea how...i'm hungry a lot and some days I feel like I dont even have a band. The fill was pretty painless... As he's doing it he says he's putting in 5 ccs. I say seriously??!! Then he finishes while I am panicing...picturing myself pb'ing on my own salvia lol. He tells me his standard first fill is 4-6 ccs. Wow. Seems aggressive to me. Anyone else?? I am sitting here in the waiting room. Water is going down fine. Oh, and my saliva too. Lol.

My first fill was on Dec 1st and even though I lost 14 pounds in November they gave me a 5 CC fill...I was like wow!! I really didnt think I needed quite that much since I was losing but its working! Im not eating as big as portions now and am NOT hungry in between meals. Actually Im not even that hungry at meal times..lol

I got 5 ccs my first fill too. It took me by surprise too. And I already had 1.5 ccs in the band that I never knew about. But I say fill 'er up! I have another fill next week. Can't wait.

I had my first fill last tuesday and I feel no different. I have no idea haw much I had or what they put in bc I forgot to ask. The nurse wasNOT gentle looking for my port.

I got 4 cc's. My doctor said the first one is big because not only is he filling the band but also all that tubing.

I had my first fill yesterday Dec. 8th and only had 1.5 cc's put into my empty band. I can tell a difference because it takes me like an hr. to drink my Protein Shake.< /p>
