2Nd Fill.....

[Laneyb_00 81]

Patiently waiting to get my 2nd fill, I have not really felt a difference with my first fill that I got Nov 7th. I only have 2ccs in my band right now, and feeling very discouraged and afraid of losing all my progress I've made. I feel like I haven't even had surgery at all, with the exception of some mornings when I can feel that my band is tighter. I'm trying to keep pushing through and exercising and using Portion Control. I have to wait until Dec 19th to get my second fill. My dr office makes u wait 6wks from surgery to have the first fill and then another 6wks to have your second and then you can have one every 2 - 3 wks. On a brighter note my nurse who had the surgery said she lost the most weight after her second fill. So I'm still hopeful, the holidays are making it hard no doubt.

After my first fill, and before my second, I GAINED weight....did nothing at all.....

My second fill did make a difference, curbed my appetite somewhat between meals, but that was about it....

For me, it took three fills before it really kicked in....

Everyone is deifferent, what you're experienceing has been mentioned here 1000 times....

3 fills for B-52, and about 8 fills (not sure if theres been 8 exactly I've lost count) and 4 months for me, and restriction is still not consistent.

I can lose 3-5lbs the first week after a fill and then gain it all back the second week.

My adjustments are every 2 weeks.

Until u can reach the green zone, which as u can see, varies from person to person, the weight you lose now will heavily depend upon your own dieting and exercising habits.

Once ur band is tight enough to restrict food intake consistently, weightloss is still in your hands.
