Anyone just have 1 fill till you were done?

right on ladies, I have not wanted or needed a fill and am steadily losing weight, yes I get hungry and when I smell something dilis (like passing MickeyDs) I always say, damn that smells so good, but keep going.

everyday is different for me, theres days were I can eat a normal meal and other days that I'm just not hungry. on those days I make sure I have a Protein drink.

I was scheduled for my first fill 1/30 and after talking with my Doc. it was decided I would wait until next month. I have an appt. 2/28 and at this time, I think I will go another month with no fill.

I like to keep my appts because they get me pumped up to continue my path on exercise and eating well.

I weighed myself yesterday and am down to 248, but will not change my ticker until 2/28 when its official

keep up the good work ladies, dont feel quilty about having no fills, but when needed and if the time comes, get one

I had my band in October 2007. I had 1 fill, of 1.6 cc in November. Nearly choked to death! waaaaaay too tight, so had it all taken out. Ive lost 62 pounds with nothing in. Some days I still feel way too tight & have troubles, but nothing to take out Not good.

I've only had one fill ... 2cc in a 10cc band. I've never had restriction but I've lost over 100lbs!!

Do what works for you!

Hello everyone. Thanks for all of your posts. I was banded on 1/23/08 and has my first fill on 3/5/08 2cc's. about 5 days later I started feeling nausea....(as of today it has been 23 days.) on 3/19 the doctore removed the fill. 3/24 I was given the 2 cc's back and it was way too tight he took out 1/2 cc that night I ended up in the er and the 1.5 cc was removed. I do not have any Fluid in my band but I am not losing. I have lost 3 lbs then gained 1.6 back. then yesterday I weighted in and I lost 1 lb. Not sure what is going on and if I can't handle a fill but I'm not losing much what are my options? My doc did give me Protonix 40 mg to try and see if that will rid of the nausea.

Please someone respond and let me know there will be light at the end of this tunnel

I am soooo jealous! j/k I had my first fill on Friday, but am certain I will be going back for more.

I'm not sure the name....or correct size.

I was told that I have the smallest band that they make.

Does that make sense?

If you have a 4cc band I can see 2cc's being too much for you. You should try like .5 maybe?

You could still have some swelling too.

I hope you feel better. Give it some time, you'll start losing again.
