Sorry, new at this poll thing. Looking to see when people got their first fill, especially to see how all the August All Stars are doing and when they are/have gone? :thumbup:

I got my band 8/29 and will get my first fill 10/9 provided I'm all healed etc. That's just at 6 weeks. YAY! So excited!

I was banded Aug. 9 and got my first fill 4 weeks later. This gave me very little restriction. A week later, I got another fill. I feel like I might be a little too tight but I'm sticking with it(I'm losing 4 lbs per week). I'm scheduled to go in for another fill this Tues. but I think that I'm going to cancel it.

I was banded Aug. 25th and go in for my first fill on Oct. 7th. Six weeks after surgery. Looking forward to it. I'm stuck this week and actually gaining ounces (I'm back to all foods now). Friday's WI doesn't look good. We'll see though.

I was banded on Aug. 8 and got my first fill today! It was soooo easy! I was ready for it too; I haven't lost anything in a few weeks and was getting down on myself. My dr. said, don't worry about it; this is a slow process and you're doing great. So I feel a lot better. He also said it would take 2 days before I could tell a difference, which I thought was weird.

I just got my first fill this past Thursday 9/25/08. I was 15 weeks out from surgery. I got 2 cc, but I found out that I already had 2 cc in my band to start with. So I now have a total of 4 cc in my 10 cc band.

Was banded Sept. 4th and will go in for first fill on Oct. 9th, 5 weeks out. Hunger has increased a tiny bit but still staying pretty satisfied with the 3 meals a day, which are small amounts. Looking forward to finding out the size of my band and if any cc's were added at the time of my surgery.

I was banded 08/15, got my first fill today. Started with 3cc, but I started throwing up so they took it down to 1.5cc's. Good news was it didn't hurt at all.

I was banded August 21, 2008. I got my first fill on 10/09/08, he put 2.5 cc in my band. I really cannot tell yet when I eat but the good thing is that my hunger has been in check since I got the band. I have lost 30 lbs so far and doc says I'm doing great, getting another fill in 6 weeks. Well see. Overall the fill process didn't hurt a bit, my 4 year old was with me and watched LOL

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
