First fill since surgery...

[aeromech 202]

I went yesterday for my appointment and am down 13lbs from 03/20 surgery day weight, 23% excess weight lost so far to their calculations.

I was eating larger portions and hungry every 2-3 hours, so they decided to give me a fill. My previous problems with the hernia repair being a tight one and having problems even taking pills, they took all 4cc out. Now I have 2cc put back in. They told me to drink Protein shakes for the rest of my meals yesterday and nothing about what to do today.

lunch today was some grilled chicken out of a McDonald's wrap. The wasn't the best choice I know, but I only ate 4 bites before I felt like something was wrong. I had the right size bites, chewed completely, waited 1 min or more between and still had that awful stuck feeling. I did not have to PB, it worked it's way on through, but man that sucks. Oh, and I am not hungry anymore... Lol

I know people have problems with chicken, but besides that is there anything else I may have done wrong?

You can have some swelling around the band area from the fill. Just a little pressure can irritate the lining of your stomach so take it easy with the meats for a few days.

I had my first fill on the 11th and I feel no restriction is that normal I only received 1cc.

Jackie, everyone is different. Some people get the band and no fills and lose lots of weight and others are near max capacity and are good. It all depends on your body.

I think night am going with softer foods for dinner tonight and maybe in the morning too just to be safe.

I didn't feel any restriction till my 3rd fill and finally got restriction and satiety with my 4th.

Everything is working as advertised today, no problems as of yet. Meds go down ok, I was full off of a hard boiled egg for about 5 hrs.

Looks good. They want me back in 2 weeks.
