When did you get your 1st fill?

missnikkie0514 · October 12, 2008

I was banded on 8/29/08 I received my first fill on 9/23/08 (3 wks and 4 days out) and that fill was 2cc.....nothing different at all so I called the dr and they told me to come back the following week 9/29/08 and I received another fill of 2.5 cc so my grand total is 4.5cc in my 10cc band. I feel a silght difference but nothing major. I have had a few episodes with chicken but that is getting better as well. I am scheduled for another fill on 10/20/08 which should get me to where I need to be I hope. I am down 20lbs since surgery and I just started working out so I hope to see more results soon!!! :thumbup:

I survived my first fill and it was a little more intense than I thought it would be, but my threshold for discomfort is HIGH so I made it :thumbup: The Dr. had a hard time finding the port site, so finally after the sixth try he got it and then I drank a glass of Water then out I go. I don't feel or see any differences in my eating but it's only the first one. The area around my port site was a little tender for a week after too, I'm sure from all the probing and pushing on my abdomen. I apprently there was 4cc already there from the surgery, so he added one and now I have 5cc in my 10 cc band. Hope all the August All Stars are doing well - I'm doing great!

I was banded August 11, 2008, no fill yet. Yesterday was 12 weeks post op. On my last appt, the doctor said I was doing good with the small fill during surgery, and my new learned eating habits are taking care of the weight. They mentioned ther was one guy that went 6 mts without a fill.
