    MSAPP - I'm glad your doing better! When do you go for your first fill? ASMITH - Hi and welcome to the banded world. So I went for my first fill 6/20 and to my surprise i already had 2cc, that's probably why I was so darn sick after my surgery. I've lost 15 pounds so far, I guess not to bad but I'm not loosing anymore, the nurse practitioner gave me 1 and a half cc, so now I have a total of 3 1/2. I just learned that I have a small 10cc band. I've been eating a lot more so i think when I go back ill ask for a total of 5cc. The first fill wasn't so bad, thank god because I was worried, I was numbed and then a poked and Walla she was done. Not too bad! I do feel restriction, shortly after I eat, but I feel like I just started and wasn't enough and I put more in my mouth, grrrr I know! Not good! Like today my hubby meet up with me for lunch and brought Chipotle, I loooove Chipotle and it was the first time having some after surgery and I wanted to devour my food, got full fast and couldn't eat much, I wanted to cry just to see that bowl of great food go in the garbage. I guess, this is the part that I get my lazy butt up and exercise and have portion control. Please keep me updated on how you guys do, I love to hear all responses so let's all continue to keep each other motivated. We are the banded chicks!!! Lol have a great day.

    Hi Getmygroveback, I went through True Results in Scottsdale. I was banded May 16th. It was hard the first week, but after that I started to feel better. I can eat a lot more, I haven't had my first fill yet. Im scheduled to go in on the 20th. Im 3 weeks into it and lost 14 pounds so far. That's because my body went cold turkey, lol.... I live around I17 and Northern. Got a membership at You Fit on 35th and Bethany Home Rd. Dobt know where you live, but if your close we can work out together. Banded May 16, 2013
