The guy who does it at my Dr.'s office is a Nurse Practitioner, and he did it by feel. There was a surgical resident in there who tried first and couldn't get the port. (That was fun.) But I definitely felt when the NP hit the port, and he pulled out all the liquid that was in there--2 ccs-- to confirm, then put in 4 in its place. Feeling a bit more restriction today, but not significantly more than I was with just 2 cc. Weird.

I actually feel LESS restriction after the fill. Technically I can progress to solids, but have been a little reluctant. Just tried a little salad tonight and that didn't feel too good. I am feeling more restriction today than I was yesterday, so maybe I was just having a weird day?

I was banded about 7 weeks ago. My surgeon primes the band with 2 cc at surgery. Things were going really well. I was feeling lots of restriction, and the weight was coming off, until I got my first fill of an additional 2 cc last Weds. Since then, I've felt little restriction, have been very hungry, and my weight loss has stopped. What the heck is up with that?

I was banded recently, and am losing a lot of weight, but have a long way to go. My husband hasn't really been interested in sex for years. I've always suspected it's because of my weight--at my heaviest, I was nearly 100 lbs. more than when we got married. He swears it's not my weight, but I think that's just to protect my feelings. Now I'm worried, what if I get thin, and he still doesn't want to have sex? What have your experiences been? As you've lost weight, have your husbands/boyfriends/girlfriends/s.o.s gotten more interested in sex?
