1st fill

Hi. My question is regarding my first fill. How much do they put in? Is there any discomfort along with a fill? The reason I ask is that I am going on Vacation 6 days after my scheduled fill and I won't be around any hospitals or doctor's offices. Should I wait and do my fill after vacation? Please, someone help me. I need all the advice I can get. Thank you so much for your time.:cursing:

2 and 1/2 weeks post op

Well, it's been 2 and 1/2 weeks since my sugery. I have lost 10 pounds and 11 inches off my body. I can't see a difference yet when I look in the mirror but my clothes are fitting looser. I am pretty happy with the results so far. I do enjoy working out and it definitly makes me a happier person. I have a long way to go but I know I can do this. Good luck to the rest of you, we can all do it!!:smile2:

Feeling really low

Hi everyone. It has been 3 months since my surgery and at first everything was great. I lost 10 pounds in the first couple of weeks and I have had one fill. I go for my next one on the 29th. My problem is that I have only lost 15 pounds and I workout regularly. I do cardio and weight train. I don't have much restriction anymore and can eat like I used to. I try hard not to over eat but sometimes I do. I have had some serious family emergencies in the last 6 weeks and my stress level is through the roof. I eat when I'm stressed and therefore I feel like I am letting myself down. I am hoping that after my fill I will feel better and the weight will start coming off again. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.

3rd fill

Hello everyone. I had my third fill yesterday and I have a few concerns and I am hoping some of you could help me figure out what to do. As soon as I got to the parking lot of my doctors office right after my fill I started feeling like the water I just drank was going to come back up. I have never vomited in the 6 months I have had the band. I sat in my car and I burped up the water over and over again. It was kind of foamy like a lot of spit. I know it sounds gross, sorry. I continued to do that for about 20 minutes. I started to feel a little better and when I got home, I tried to drink some warm tea. I burped that up as well but I did manage to keep it down. Later I tied some chicken broth and the same thing happened. This morning, I am trying to drink a little coffee and am having the same problem. My question I guess is should I contact the Doctor or should I just wait until the swelling goes down and see how I feel. I need some advice please. I am leaving town next week for 2 weeks and need to know what to do. Thank you for your time. Happy Holiday's!!!
