  2. My port is at an angle... the fill took 4 tries. Hopefully the next one will be better.
  3. I have only had one fill and it was 2cc's. Don't feel any restriction. How many cc's before you feel it?
  4. I also had my first fill today... Really had a hard time with it. The doctor couldnt find my port so I had 3 numbing needles and 4 fill needles until they finally hit the target... My port is at an odd angle. They put in 2cc's and said I probably wouldn't really feel very much difference. Will have another fill after the holidays. Only problem is I am hungry all the time. I have lost 17 lbs in 4 weeks since the surgery, but it has been more from mind over matter because I have very little restriction. Don't really want another fill any time soon either though. Feelig a bit low so I am heading for bed. Tomorrow is a new day
  5. You look Fantastic! Congrats!!! Do you ever still feel big?
  6. I am only 2 weeks post -op and i find myself struggling because I am hungry and have no restriction... Please advise
  7. I have lost 12 lbs but it would seem that I am stuck... I think I will really try to drink all of the water, eat smaller portions and hide the scale. My first post -op appt is this Weds. I will have lots of questions for my Doc. I still get hungry also! Partner in bandster in hell:(
  8. I didn't realize that i would have to wait so long for my first fill... I am afraid of not losing for the next 6 weeks. I guess it is more of a mind thing right now??
  9. Hi ,I just got banded on the 9th. I have 2 questions. Do you have any restriction before your first fill? and what is the 5 day pouch test?
  10. Thank you Cheri! Your message is a great gift for us newbies!
  11. Sorry for the double post! The wee one is my grandaughter making her funny faces
