Hi line-dancer did you have 6cc and then have some taken out to 4cc I am just curious a to why go from 6cc to 4cc I hope I don't sound rude.

I had my fill on Friday last, I live six hours drive from my doc, I thought about hanging around and asked the doc, he said it wasn't necessary and he was absolutely right. If you are following the rules, you will be fine. I had all the same worries as you, but in the end it was all groundless I feel no different than before the fill, only less hungry. Good Luck I am sure you will be fine.

These are my favorite threads of all, giving hope to us all. Well done you, what a tremendous achievement.

First fill 3cc in a 10cc band. Doctor said you can't put 10cc in anyone know why not? I am happy at the moment but would still like to know the limit that can be put in 10cc

Hi bubba831 I lost 8kgs (17.6lbs) from the day of my op, my fill was at five weeks and one day from surgery. Doc was pleased. It really did not hurt, I felt a slight pinch, and then I waited and doc said "your finished". Real easy, good luck with your first fill.

I had the 1st fill and thought it would be magic, I kept to the 24 hour liquid rule and I must admit I thought no difference still hungry, that was on Friday evening. Got up this morning tried to eat one egg with one toast (was easily downing that before the fill) but whoppee half way through felt full stopped eating. I'm happy it's working, thanks for all the support.

Well I have been reading about people going back every two weeks, trying to find the green zone. I know everyone is different and you have to work at this.

I had my first fill today 3 cc everything went very well only a small amount of discomfort. The doc said after the fill "see you in two months" I thought it would be "see you in two weeks " very worried.

Our greatest glory consists not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

Way to go girl, that is awesome and you doing great.

Hi Terry, do you at least feel a bit better after the first fill?

Please let us know how it goes, I am going next Friday and It can't come soon enough. Good Luck.

Banded on 3/21 and trying very hard to hang in there Average calories over seven days Week 1 - 795 Week 2 - 876 Week 3 - 1073 Week 4 - 1275 Total weight loss 15lbs but all in the first two weeks. Friday can't come fast enough I am now in bandster hell.

Really well done, you look fabulous!!

So very inspiring. Have you had a fill yet? And how much exercise do you do? Congratulations!

Hang in there, at least your facing the worst and it can only get better for you. Sincerely hope your feeling much better soon.

I was wondering why you have to eat the protein on your plate first.

Many congrats may your journey be smooth.

Post op 16 days went for meal yesterday to prove that we don't have to change everything, just what I put into my mouth. Had Norwegian salmon Mashed potatoe Stir fry veg I only managed 1/3rd and brought the rest home but it was nice to be out.

15 days since surgery, feeling good, following the rules moving from mushy to soft food. Please give ideas on what I can eat.

Amazing result, be very proud of your superb achievement. What a great inspiration you are to all us newly banded folk!

That is such a lovely post, I just long to hear those words " are you losing weight"? Congrats to you.

Do you only encounter this problem after you have your first fill?

Way to go, you can see a huge difference. Well done!

I know the scars will be small, and at my age that is a real low price to pay for healthy lifestyle, but anyone got suggestions for what to rub on them? I was thinking tea tree oil.
