Second Fill

soon2bskinny · September 17, 2003

Going for my second fill today. I have the 11cm band and my first fill was 3cc. It has been 3 months since that fill and I am long due another. Wouldn't have waited so long but it is so expensive here that I haven't had the extra money. I put back on most of the weight I had lost, which wasn't much since fill anyways. I have since lost it again but it has been very hard with no restrection. Wish me luck!

Hi soon2bskinny

I've just been for my 3rd fill about 1 hour ago and am really hoping it will do the trick as my weight loss has not been good - 14lbs, 12 of those lost in the first 2 weeks post op.

I was banded in May this year and have a 9cm band fitted. With my calculations it must be about full now.

I sympathise with expense side of things, as I'm from the UK it doesn't cost - well not directly anyway!!!!!!!!!!

At the moment I can feel the restriction without drinking so I'm hoping it will settle down and is not too restricted.

I've not been given any advice on what to eat/drink after a fill and wondered if anyone out there can give me some tips. Good luck with the next fill and looking forward to talking more to you all soon.

Hey bev, I have not yet had a fill, but from what I understand after a fill you go back to liquids for a day or two, then mushie for a day or two, then soft, then regular foods. Just take it slow while you adjust to the new fill level. Good Luck

Thanks for that Desiree. Here in the UK the dietary advice is very limited. Although am due to see my consultant and dietician in November and I'm really hoping my weight loss is going to be going in a downward direction. I'm hoping to be posting more positive replies on this quite soon.
