I have registered with this site after chatting with a fellow-bander in our doc's office while waiting for my first fill. She was banded a year ago and is now 3 months pregnant so she has to start unfilling. My first fill was easy but I don't feel any restrictions. I think I freaked out a little on the third time I had to drink the water because I really thought I was going to puke!!! My next fill is March 29 at 2:30. I hope its better next time. I like this site. It's a lot to go through but I find it very interesting!!:clap2: My weight at my first appt was 344. On my surgery date, it was 324. I am now at 284. I seem to be at a standstill. I can't get below 280.:help: :help: :help: :help: :help: :help: :help: :help: :help: :help: :help: :help: :help: :help: :help: :help:
