My first fill...

Was not as scary as I thought, but I still acted like a baby. My surgeon tried to comfort me, and I tried to be funny. I said, "I forgot to bring my teddy bear." He just chuckled.

It really was just a little pinch like everyone said...but you know, you have to try it yourself before you are convinced, right? ha ha ha

So I asked what my band capacity was, which I was not sure of before. I have a 10cc band, and at the surgery, he placed 3cc at that time. So he asked if I wanted one or two, but decided to go right in the middle and give me 1.5 cc.

I came home and mixed up a packet of low sugar Quaker oatmeal with milk. That was an hour ago, and I still feel really, really full... in fact, it's almost a little uncomfortable.

Yay! We have more restriction!!!

The scale had only moved three pounds since my post-op on 11/14. I wasn't disappointed, but he said it was time to get things moving now. I'm really excited!!!

Happy New Year!! :confused:

Hey...in regards to the first fill. Thanks for the info. Mine is still 3 wks out but I like to hear about everything. Happy New Year to you too

Hi Rachel!

I am happy that you got such a good fill :confused: I too have a 10cc band and am at 5.5cc now, but I am a wimp I am afraid lol, I get numbed now as my first one was not just a pinch.

I wanted to just say hello and wish you lots of luck, I see you on the forum and think you are doing great!
