Did anyone lose weight with the 1st fill?

Yep only 2. I got the first one 06/01/2009 and the second 06/09/2009 I was banded 04/16/2009 then had complications. So, I had another surgery 04/24/2009. They are quickly trying to find my sweet spot since I had problems. But I am fine now and feel great.

OK Sugga. I might be a little slow here. Did you lose 18-21 pounds since 6/9/09?

17 to be exact. I work out 5 times a week 1.5 to 2 hours a day.

Wow! I am really impressed. I'm glad to hear that all is well with you since you had complications. :bored: Thanks for replying to my post.

I just came back from getting my first fill after surgery. The NP gave me 1cc. I was told the surgeon had given me 2 ccs during surgery. We will see how it goes this next 4 weeks. I do not feel any restriction at all. Hopefully it will kick in later today. I'm on liquids for the next 3 days. This will give me a chance to try the nectar Protein samples.< /p>

CONGRATS on your 1st fill. Restriction will come, as previously stated everyone is so different. I had my first and only fill January 09 (2.4cc) and lost 45 lbs. I just went today for my 2nd fill because I have not really been restricted over the past 2 months. I actually ate way more than what I usually eat over the past 2 months but I didn't gain any weight or lose any weight. So with this 2nd fill I anticipate losting the remaining 35 lbs. Good luck!!

Thanks Unique. Your weight loss is impressive as well. All of you are really helping me with this phase of the journey. I expected to wake this morning and feel some restriction. My doctor told me the band is tighter in the morning. He said I may not get liquids down. Well to my dismay, the Water went down just fine. Luckly, I have exercise to help me through this month. I started a 50 mile challenge for the month of July. The exercising will probably keep me sane while I wait for restriction.

Thank you to everyone that contributed to this thread. I am going for my first fill on June 30th and am really looking forward to that "full" filling again. All of the post-surgical swelling is gone and even though I lost an incredible 19lbs since surgery on May 18th I seem to be stuck there. I am hoping for a jump start after the fill. Good luck to all and I will look forward to reading more posts to this thread.

Hi Bill. How are you today? Were you able to get your fill yesterday?
