Once I got over 6.0cc's I started to feel satisfied for 3 to 4 hours after a meal without getting hungry again. Now, I don't get hungry until 4 or more hours depending on what I ate. 1/2 cup of oatmeal lasts me about 2 to 3 hours but 1/2 cup of tuna or chicken breast last the longest.

Thankyou so much for helping me out.... I feel some restriction now with my second fill. Where as before I felt I could eat a bowl of Pasta...

Thankyou again

I know everyone is different. I just had a fill today I am up to 5cc's.

Not really, when they put a fill in, say 1cc, they put 1cc of saline in the needle then stick it in the port, draw every thing out (so say you have 4cc in the band already, it will show 5 cc in the syringe) and then put the entire 5 cc's into your band(nevery removing the needle from your port). They may miss the port when they initally stick the needle in and have to try again, but they know when they miss it. I had to be stuck more than once on one of my fills, no big deal, you can barely feel it, but the Fluid is (most likely) getting into the band.

Fills just take time for some to feel restriction, then the smallest fill can make all the difference!

Thankyou so much for clearing that up. I feel better now I am going for my first fill on the 29th of May.

Was wondering for those who get a fill and dont feel resrtictions, could it be posible the doctor is missing the port? Reason I am asking a friend of mine got a band a couple months ago and told me that her doctor somethimes misses the port and sometimes he sticks her a few times. Is this normal?
