Had First Fill Today!! 5/22/2008

Pamidoodle · May 22, 2008

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'm glad it went well, keep us posted on how it works.

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...

davisd, I was banded the same day and got a fill yesterday. I feell the difference already but I think he gave me a 3cc 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.
