Getting my first fill later today!!! Mixed emotions not sure why.

Hi Diana, congratulations on your surgery and this new chapter of your life. It is all very emotional, isn't it? Some of us had grieving for things we thought we'd have to give up and then it turned out either it wasn't the case or it just didn't matter -- that emotional attachment to food goes away when the band dims the appetite. I am so glad to be out of food jail! Good luck with all. People respond to fills differently--for me it seems to take several days for it to "settle in."

3cc on a 10cc band. It was painless! If I don't feel restriction with 3cc I have to see the doctor In one week for another adjustment... ????????

Congratulations, Diana! The one thing my doctor stressed to me during my first fill (two weeks ago today) was to give my body time to "adjust & then listen" to it! Everything needed to sort-of settle so I could make an accurate determination on whether or not I had enough restriction. I'm going back on Monday for another fill because although I'm not having any issues, I would feel better with more restriction. Wishing you the best!

You're on your way! Be patient. We got an adjustable tool for a reason. The green zone is found slowly. Yay for you!

I had my first fill on Thursday. I also have 3 cc in a 10 cc band. I think I had myself so woked up about it. It really wasn't bad. My dr. doesn't want to see me back for 8 weeks. I thought that was a long time, but he said i'm doing fine and he'll see me then. I'm back on regular food tomorrow...

I def feel the restriction!!! As soon I start eating a little faster cause it's hard to get use to eating slow I feel stuck and get hiccups.... Crazy feeling! But now I know when to stop lol
