Anyone From April Had Banded Filled?

I had lap band surgery on April 9th; I have lost 25 pounds; I am scheduled for my first fill appointment next week, June 6th.

I was banded on April 17th and had my first fill today. 3.2ccs in a 10cc band.

I finally got my 1st fill yesterday..he put in 2.8cc in an 11cc band. I'm on liquids now for two days and then mushies for five days. I'm hoping this gives me some restriction. But my doctor said it could take up to four or five fills before I feel real restriction. Hopefully it doesn't take that long. My next fill is in 6 weeks. Good luck everyone.

After my fill, I've been doing great! I have restriction, and it's teaching me to eat slower and chew more! I see this is gonna work now!!

Ok guys help, I was filled for the first time 12 days ago and got 4cc's. It was great for a few days and now I can eat anything and am very hungry. I've lost 4 lbs the past 12 days but it's all in my own, I'm starving should I call for another full or wait out the next 18 days and stick to my 1200 calories and not going over.

@cleescrugs - It can't hurt to call but I believe from all my reading - we are in "band hell" and it's going to take a little bit and a few fills to get us where we need to be.... And it sucks! I was banded on 4/10 could of had a fill four wks out but "your loosing so lets wait another four". Yikes! Cause I can eat too much I think for being banded and lately 1000 cals is more then a little hard - so hard that I'm tired of journaling and I found myself eating with my kids last night and not healthy choices! So bring on tuesday before I fall off the side of this cliff!

I had surgery 4/20 and fill (4cc in 11cc band) 5/30... I am kind of bummed as not feeling anything. Next will be 7/11. They said if I'm losing 1lb a week they prob won't but I'll be pushing them as if I'm just dieting on my own as it is now I want a fill to get the tool to help !

feels like a mack truck moving slowly and i am slowly down the road of your smaller 'stomach" area...I feel every turn of that truck when i get stuck...my back hurts the most(upper back)....i sometimes get a headache also....until it passes, it is miserable.I have not had a fill yet, surgery 4-18, but scheduled for 6-13...

I had surgery in Las Vegas and I am back home in Fort Lauderdale and I go see the doctor that was my second choose to have done the surgery...I went wth the doc in Vegas as he took Medicare and got me approved fast and with my second choose I was looking at August at the earliest....but i think the second doc will be a better fit as far as bed side manner...first doc just seemed to be to be an assembly line....my opinion....

I was banded on April 17th, and had a fill on June 1st. 3cc, I don't feel any restriction, except when the scales are not showing weight loss. That makes me want to up the walking and be careful what goes in my mouth. I know the restriction will come, so it's best to learn to chew thoroughly, and eat lean Protein 1st. I'm down 28 lbs, but my eyes still want alot of the "good foods" that got me into this shape to begin with. Best wishes and good luck!

I had surgery April 23rd. I've had one fill 3cc go for my next appointment Tuesday. I've lost 31 lbs so far.

I had lap band surgery on Aprilo 9th; my first fill was on June 6th . . . also 3 cc's; my next fill is scheduled for July 25th. I have lost 35 pounds.

Sounds like we are on the same schedule

I was banded on 4/26 and have lost a little over 28 pounds...I was scheduled for my second "adjustment"/fill today but had to reschedule since I am home with pnemonia--which resulted a 6 pound in two day loss. I have really been struggling this month. Hope all goes well once I am feeling better and not taking the antibotic that has taken away my appetite.

I was banded on April 12th and so far have lost 55 lbs. The last 2 weeks have been rough my band was too tight with 4.5 cc. After many calls and an ER visit the doctor finally took 2.5 cc out so the swelling around the band will go down. On a liquid diet for the rest of the week and I'm starving. I never realized how many food commercials are out there. Enough complaining I'm vey happy with my weight lost on 70 more to go.
