Oh wow! Well congratulations! Are you nervous?

Thank you! Yes I am pretty nervous! I just don't know what to expect I've never had any type of abdominal surgery the only type I've had is back surgery and my wisdom teeth removed lol.

They always have me drink. Saw a great humming bird in the image. She only put .3 in me and after I drank the Fluid it came right back up. She had to take out .1 and everything went through just fine. Anymore and ill be too tight lol.

Yeah it would be miserable to have it too tight but ill find out why it's doing thy the first week of your full! I'm glad I downloaded this app cause I'm having surgery the 16 of August so I'm learning even more from here and working at the doctors office !!

I just had my 6th fill and I think it'll be my last. I've noticed with every fill I'm unusually hungry for about the first week and I don't feel the restriction for the first week. Do you know why that is? I tend to over eat after a fill. I hate it.

It sounds like there is not enough Fluid in your band cause your suppose to feel the restriction after your fill. At the doctors office I work at the doctor gives you some Water to make sure it goes through your band good enough and you don't throw it up. But to me it sounds like you don't have enough and it makes you over eat. But I can always find out when I get back to work I'm out of the office this week and I can fill you in on some more about it

Had my first first fill today Wasn't to Bad I know they said only Clear liquids for today but just Water Can you also have chicken broth and what else if anyone knows

I work at a lap band doctors office and normally if you are still hungry after you fill you need to get it tightened again to help you stay more full and full longer.

You normally wait four weeks after surgery to have a fill then every month after that when you have reached a full year of fills you normally don't have to come but every three to six months unless your having problems.

Hope this information helps
