thursday day 6

Your band didn't slip, your fine. As you heal the swelling will become less obtrusive to digestion. You are going to become more hungry and find yourself able to take more in. You won't have any restriction until you go for your first fill. Between surgery day and fill day, it's simply healing time. It happened to me and I stressed about it till I came here and got information. Food will become the same way when you start eating. At first and ounce will hold ya. Later on you may find your hungrier and can eat more, sooner. It happens to everyone.

At my fill Monday I learned that the average is for people to lose the first week to three weeks and then to basically maintain the last three. I also learned that they don't really think of losing starting till the first fill.

Ditto to Fool4dance. I just got my first fill yesterday and I was at the point where I could basically eat anything (though I didn't!). I have a huge fear of slippage, I think you may have the same fear as me! Talk to your doctor. Mine told me that slippage is extremely rare and truly nothing to worry about. Ask your doctor, let him calm you the way mine did for me!

Good luck, we are all rooting for you!!
