Not sure whether to get 2nd fill...
I'm confused about fills. I had my first fill (5cc) at the hospital 6 weeks out. I didn't know I was supposed to call the office that same day to schedule my next fill. Now I have to wait until the end of August. I asked what the criteria is for a fill and they said it's automatic every 6-8 weeks for a year and twice the second year. I feel it should be up to me. I have some restriction, I never get hungry and I've lost apprx. 2 lbs a week. I can't afford for him give me .5 every 6 weeks just because he can.

Today is my first post on Friday Weigh In. This week I've lost 6.5 lbs. Woo Hoo. I'm finally able to walk without pain. 4/10 - 9 lbs, 4/17 - 1.5, 4/24 - 3, 5/1 - .5, 5/8 - 2, 5/15 - 1.5, 5/22 - 3, 5/29 - 0, 6/5 - 1, 6/12 - 6.5- My Doctor won't tell you how much the fill is. WHY???
I had my first fill on 5/21. When I asked how much he put in he said "alot". I asked again and he said it was unimportant. Asked why he wouldn't tell me and he finally said 4cc. He said it's like putting air in your tires, you don't usually know how much goes in, it's the end result that's important.- Any one having lapband done at S.O.C.H.?
Welcome from a former Jerseyite. I lived in Toms River for 60 years. I was banded in Kansas on 4/10/09. Glad to hear you are doing well.- Anyone banded April 28?
Really Good Protein shake 1 Cup Skim Milk 1 Scoop chocolate Protein Powder 1 tsp vanilla 1 Tbsp Peanut Butter 6 Ice Cubes Blend Tastes like a Reeces Cup- Anyone banded April 28?
Go to Forum and then food & Nutrition. I've found some good things.- April Bandsters?
Just have to share. I'm 10 days out and I'm finally feeling pretty good. I still have port pain, but only when I move suddenly. The Dr. said that with everything he had to go through to get the port in there, it's no wonder I have extra pain. I'm so excited. This morning I put on a coat that I couldn't even get close to closing let alone zipping last week. Today I zipped. Yippeeee. I am concerned that I'm not getting in all my calories. Good with protein and liquid. I'm keeping a food journal at myfitnesspal.com. (great place) Glad to hear from everyone. - Friday Weigh Ins
