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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
