Thanks guys for the info. Hope since your fills things are going okay with you all. I have my fill next Friday and I have to say I am not worried so much about the needles and such. ( never has bothered me about needles) I am more worried about the after effects with the fill. ( I have to be on 2 days of liquids, 2 days of liquids and pudding, cream of rice and Protein Drinks and then 2 days of mushies again. I should lose some weight? My post-op meeting ( we have once a month post op meetings at CMC Catholic Medical Center ; which are a great help ) I had a friend that had to go back the next day and had lost 8 pounds in 24 hours because he could not keep anything down. He of course is fine now. And that of course is a worst scenerio. But you know it is the fear of the unknown. I am currently stuck at a 18 weight loss. I feel good and I am happy with the lost but need to concentrate less on the scale; more on health; and I guess and more on how I feel and such. Have a great weekend everyone!

I had 3.5 cc added to my band and I have had no porblems since the fill. The first couple of days the Soups filled me up.. now I am back on reg food and I can tell alittle but not alot since the fill... I woundnt worry about the after affects of the fill... I hope next fill I have more restriction!!

Ohh I i am finally down 20 lbs:thumbup:

Ritalou - I just had my fill today. I asked my surgeon how many cc's my band held and he said, "um, let me check" and flipped through my chart...10 cc's, but his need to check makes me think it is not standard. I then asked him how many cc's of saline he put in, he put in 4.

I basicly think he had to look it up because there are 3 different sizes of lapbands... small standered and large.. I know standered is 10 and larger is 14..

Hi. I had my second fill on Friday. I am feeling more restriction now and eating about a cup at each meal. My weight is still stuck on 18lbs though! I have 5cc's in my 10cc band.

i had my lapband on april 14 by dr.treen in louisiana and have had 2 fills. 1.5cc each fill. i have lost 32 lbs. i am set for another fill on 8/18/09. give it time and you will start to see the weight loss. its only been a little over 3months and would not change a thing. don't rush the fills. feel your body out and listen to it.

I'm a Dr. Treen patient, too, banded on June 29. Just had my first fill last week and am doing fine. I love Dr. Treen!

So I am stuck at 18-20lbs.. My weight seems to shift.. I havent been doing to well on eating right.. I am feeling so depressed... I am working out about 40 min a day. I guess just last week due to vaction I got off track.. Anyone else stuck in there weight loss or feeling depressed?

Happiness1, Don't get discourged. The weight well start coming off again. I really do believe our bodies have to keep readjusting themselves from with the new weight loss. Keep up with the excercises and keep a food diary! That will keep you honest with yourself. Listen to your body as well to when it is full. Are you taking Protein shakes still or Protein Water? I have asked people in our post-op meeting and many take a proiten shake still everyday. Maybe that will help also. Keep up the good work and I will be thinking of you.

urs9999 thats great! I can still eat alittle more than I like to but feel the fill better than before. Still get the munchies alittle and find I just drink more liquids, to keep my mind off of being hungry.

[urs9999 0]

Was it your first fill? If so, the same thing happened to me with my first. I didn't ask so I have no idea why, but my second that I had last week is better.

I had my first fill 2 days ago and it was 4cc. I am also hungrier than before. I am filling very discouraged after my first fill.

[happiness1 1]

I am so Discouraged my weight is not moving at all.. Feels like I didnt even have anything dones... Thought I would be down 30 by now! Urgh:mad:

[Grandma26 1]

At some point we will all start moving down the scale!! Since I went on all foods the scale is moving slower but I am trying to stay positive about it. I know in my head losing it slower and steady is better, but visually I want to see a smaller number!! But then again I have always wantd instant gratifiation, that's why I weight what I do now.....lol

Hang in there, we will make it.
