lalaj 108 Posted June 27, 2012 Hi all I was banded 5/15/12. Today was my first fill and I must say it went better than I thought. I was given barium to swallow as my band was filled. He put 3-4 ccs in there. I say 3-4 because he said that's where he usually starts, either way, I can definitely feel the difference. I'm on liquids for 2 days. Yay more Protein Shakes, oh how I've missed you... NOT! Lol 6 weeks til next fill not sure if I'll need it. It took me forever to finish a cup of Decaf. We will see. Just updating those who have supported me and who cares thanks for all the support, it's greatly appreciated.

Cazzy 725 Posted June 27, 2012 Good to hear your fill went well, as u lose weigth your band will often loosen up a little from the loss of visceral fat around the stomach, so dont be too quick to dismiss another fill in 6 weeks, u will probably need it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kah1213 311 Posted June 27, 2012 Just got my first fill!! Just a pinch and it was over. I had to stay and drink some Water to be sure I wasn't too tight. I feel more restriction but no problems with the water. I'm back on soft foods until Friday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
