Well I was banded on December 29th, 2010. I didn't do the liquid diet before the surgery due to the late insurance approval and my doctor worked me in. Since then I losted only 10 lbs but seem to be at a halt...... My first doctor's appt. was on Jan 13th and he said that I was on the right track. But to me I thought I would have lost a little more than 10 LBS!!!!! I'm set to have my first fill on Valentine's Day. I can't wait. Could anyone let me know how their first experience was with your first fill? I would like to know what I can expect.

I can speak from experience you dont want to rush it. I was banded 1/11/11 and have loss 12 lbs. The weigh loss is good... I had to much saline in my band and had to go back in on a Sunday to have some take out. I can get liquids down now but things are still getting hung a little and TRUST ME you dont want that pain. To take a sip of water and feel like a elepahnt is there. To get to the fill part I had fluid taken out and only 5 days after surgery and still sore but the injection was not bad at all. The doctor numb the area so that stick was like a bee sting and then inserted the needle he took out 4 cc from my band. I know for me I'm going to go really slow on my fills because the pain you will get from getting stuck liquids is AWFUL... and I'm sure solids will be just as bad if not worse. When you get your fill make sure you drink alot to make sure it goes down and no pain while you are in the office. Good luck to you and 10 lbs is just the beginning...
