got my first fill today



Recommended Posts

So I got my first fill today and let me tell you it was NOTHING. I was so worried that it was going to hurt. I barely felt it at all, seriously! What a breeze! I do have a question though. My doc wanted to put in 2cc's but he could only get 1cc in. I guess it started to come back in the syringe. I know they start off slow, but does anyone know the reason why they wouldn't be able to get more in at 1 time? I am worried that at my next fill, which is in 2 weeks that they will only be able to get 1cc in at a time. Can everyone tell me how much Fluid is in their band and how many fills it took to get them to their "sweet spot"

Thanks in advance!:smile2:

Also were you put on liquids for the first day and then allowed mushies the next day?

The PA at my surgeon's office normally put 3-4ccs in 11cc bands. I told her I wanted half of that. She put in 2cc and then had to pull 1cc out, because I was too restricted. So...I have 1cc in my 11cc band for now.:cool2:

you were too restricted with 2cc's? Wow I got 1cc my first fill, just had my second one yesterday of 2 so right now I have 3cc's and I feel nothing lol. I guess its different for everyone. Another member on here told me he had his first fill today and they put 4.5 cc's in the first time. I thought that sounded like alot for the first time. I guess each doctor does it differently.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
