First Fill

[pizzicato66 1]

Well, my first fill happened at long last yesterday! It was a lot easier than I expected (just some discomfort when they did the local anaesthetic). I knew I had some fill already from surgery time (I have an AP band), and finally found out that I had 2cc in from the beginning. She added another 1.2cc so I'm now up to 3.2.

I do feel a little restricted but I'm sure I really won't notice until I'm back on regular food in a day or so. I haven't had a stall at all yet (just slowed down to 2 lbs a week instead of 3-5), so hopefully the weight will keep on falling right off!!

I'm glad everything went well for you and congratulations on your weight loss!!! I went for my 2nd fill today and for some reason or another got the time mixed up. It was at 8:45 a.m. instead of 9:15 a.m. and the doctor had already left when I got there. So I'm putting it off until around 12/15 when I have more time off from work. I'm just praying and will keep going with what I have and hope to at least drop 5-10 lbs by the next fill.

Hi there... Hope your first fill goes well. Mine went just fine. The doctor went conservative with mine... at first I was kinda mad about that, but now I am happy. I am eating about a cup of food per meal, and I've lost another 4 pounds since my fill. So, I am really happy. I may go back for another fill when I lose another 15 more pounds... and the fill doesn't hurt at all. It's really no big deal. Easier than getting a flu shot!
