Well, Just had my first fill today with 3cc in 14cc band. I am really having to take things very slowly right now. Liquids have to go down slowly since I got home, but were OK at the surgeon's office. I do not believe I will be able to do even very soft foods if I stay like this for long. I may have some swelling from the fill, but if not, I will probably have to have maybe 1cc removed. I guess I will have to wait and see if this settles down.

Hello to everyone on this site. I was banded on 11/3/2008 and have lost 38 lbs since surgery, 58 lbs from first weigh-in pre-op. I have my first fill scheduled for this Tuesday and am hoping (probably false hope) that my first fill will give some actual restriction similar to the first couple of weeks post-op. Looking forward to getting this weight off for good. I have had several bad things going on due to weight and some of these are already showing improvement, especially blood sugar control. I also see my cardiologist Monday afternoon and would not be surprised to see him doing cartwheels about me finally getting this approved and started.
