Hi all, my names Chelsea, im 24. I had my band fitted in September 2011. From preop to up to 4 weeks after surgery I lost a total of 2 Stone, I was due for my first fill at the end of October under x-ray but found out I was pregnant so suspender my treatment until I had my baby, during this time I put the 2 stone I had lost back on. A week and a half ago I had my first fill something I had been looking forward to throughout my pregnancy. So the day comes and I got 4ml put it, im not actually sure of the size band I have though, this is something im going to ask. In ny liquids only period I lost 10lbs but now I've found I have no restriction so am pretty much eating anything, I dare not weigh myself but I know ive put back on. I'm now waiting for my doctor to get back to me regarding a referel to get another fill. I was so excited atvtge changes the scale was telling me that was happening, now I feel slightly disheartened.
Yesterday I was very bad and had a Chinese, mamouth sized a while I don't feel I i later learnt I had actually ate too much, I had terrible pain under my port and had to be sick to eleaviate it although now I have that torn muscle feeling, this is actually how I come across this site as I was looking up what/why etc.
I'm already aware that this process is a huge learning curve and a different one for each individual. My mom has also had a band which was about 3 years ago now, she is a success story and has reached her target goal.
Any way I told my mom what id done and the after math I was experiencing and it led to a right telling off and a 'i told you so' ... Never to old for it ay! Lol.

I had my first fill last week under x ray, it all slightly weirded me out but that's because I am weird lol. Any way ot didn't hurt, my doctor gave me a think fluid to drink while he was doing it and some water, i got 4ml, but here i am now with no restriction, so im looking to make another appt. I read somewhere that cold fluids tighten your band so to speak and warm ones loosen it, this rings true for me so maybe bare that in mind before hand :-)
