Holy Smokes!!!! First Lap Band Fill



Recommended Posts

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 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>

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
