I got my second fill last week, (Wednesday the 23rd). They added an additional 1.5 cc's so I am now up to 4.5 in the 10 band. I did feel more restriction, but I can still pretty much get anything down. The biggest thing I notice is if I drink too much at once. My nurse said that at I should hopefully hit the green zone around 5.5-6 ccs. I go in next week for a check up and fill.
I did stress my concerns at sitting at a 12 lbs loss since surgery. My nurse took measurements, and even though I am not down weight wise, I am down inches! Yay! She was telling me that since I am eating so much Protein, my body is converting fat to muscle. So even though I don't see a change in the lbs, I am still changing in my body shape!
I am hoping everything is going well for everyone!

First fill tomorrow hopefully. Getting much hungrier and snacking more then I should. Very nervous that they won't give me a fill or that I have a stretched pouch since I can eat so much.

My first fill went well. I have to admit, I was scared and my nurse offered to give me litacain before the fill so I wouldn't feel the needle. Litacain stings really bad so I opted to pull up my big girl pants and just go for the fill. It was not bad at all. I barely felt it. I am so glad I didn't numb myself first, I am sure that would have been worse.
As far as my fill working, I was on all liquids the day of the fill, mushies yesterday, and today I am eating soft foods. I have noticed some restriction, but not a ton.This morning when eating a scrambled egg, I took too big of a bite and felt it sit there for a few. My band was completely empty and they put in 3 cc which seems like the norm for a first fill. I actually go in another week to follow up and they will add more if needed.
I hope this helps!
