Had First Fill Today!! 5/22/2008



Recommended Posts

I had my first fill this morning and everything went great! My doctor was done before I could realize it, which was nice (I dont like needles at all). The good thing is that I do not see the needle so that fear does not start! lol

Question One: My band is 4 cc. He filled me with 1.5 cc today and the band was not filled during surgery. Should I be concerned that I will not lose all the weight that I want to lose? I started going to the gym on Wednesday, but I am concerned. Any ideas?

Thanks!!

Pam :rolleyes2:

My first fill will be 5/31. I think if you have been losing without a fill in the band, think what you will do with a fill!! Should lose more.

I was banded on 4/7/08 and have lost 20 pounds...I lost 15 pounds within the first two weeks lol

I just hope that I will fill some restriction, but not much because my birthday is this saturday!! lol

I was concerned with the size of my band. I want to lose a little over 100 pounds to get to my goal, so I hope that is something I can reach!

Hi Pamidoodle,

We have close band dates (4/3) and I also have around 100 lbs to lose. I get my first fill on May 31..I am really looking forward to it! I have lost and gained back, but my overall is now just 4 lbs. Can't wait for a fill!

I was interested in your post because I also have a 4cc band with no fill at surgery. I am looking forward to some restriction! Let us know how your 1.5 cc fill goes.

My doctor told me that I could continue to eat right after the fill, which I thought was odd since most doctors will put you on liquids for a day or so. I ate some eggs this morning and so far, everything is going well! I will let you know how things go a few days later.

I was banded on 04/07/08 and have lost 35 pounds since the surgery. I am due for my first fill on 05/29/08. Are you feeling any restriction since your fill? I'm afraid that I won't feel any restriction when I get my fill...

hey all! I was banded on 4/22/08 and got my first fill today. I am really nervous. I am still kinda hungry, maybe it is due to the stress of me moving this weekend. I have lost 15 pounds since and they now say to expect 1.5 pounds a week. Going back in two weeks for another adjustment if needed, which I think will have to happen with the shockingly strong amount of hunger.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
