I almost didnt get my 1st Fill!

[Lady Lap Band 71]

I went to the docs on Tuesday. Lets rewind at my 1 week post op visit they told me at my 4 week post op visit I would be getting my 1st adjustment. So Tuesday the doctor took a whole 3 minutes to ask me how I was and then said "so at your next appt you'll get your 1st adjustment" and I was like "WHAT!" Long story short he went and chit chatted with the Nuse Practitioner and then she came in and gave me my fill! Thank goodness bc I totally didn't drive 40 minutes to tell my doctor in 3 minutse that I was feeling good!

Anyway for anyone concerned it was SOOO MUCH EASIER THAN GETTING YOUR BLOOD DRAWN! It was so painless. It took a total of maybe 30 seconds for it to go in and out. I was waiting for the pain and literally there was none and I had no numbing cream!

They put 2 1/2cc's in my 10cc band, I can't say I feel differently. I guess it can take up to 2 weeks to feel restriction, can someone explain that one to me? Anyway I think I feel less hungry though. And I lost almost 3lbs in 2 days I went from 239.7 to 237.2. I get my 2nd fill on Aug 14th!!!

Hi Band Buddy, I am going for my first fill on July 29th. I drive 1 hour so I hope they are going to give me something. I can eat almost anything I want. I do not feel any restriction at all. I know I have 2 cc in a 10 cc band. Glad to hear all is going well and glad to hear the fill is nothing to worry about. Thanks for sharing. Kathy imaluckydog

Hey GonnaLooseit...I know we were banded the same day and I had my first fill yesterday. He put 3 cc's in and now I"m back on liquids for today. Tomorrow and Saturday have to do mushies. I am hungry today so hopefully I will start to feel some restriction soon. Why would it take 2 weeks to feel the difference?? I agree though it was SO painless and easy :thumbup:
