I just went in for my very first fill on thursday, but I don't know know how much my dr. put in. But I feel like I had more restriction before my fill. should I call my doctor or give it another couple days to see. I know that I am not hungry now at all, but it seems like when I do eat everything goes down fine.

A big NSV for me is when i am able to sit in a restuarant at a booth and not have my stomach touching or, even hanging over the table.

i have had a little bread, and seem to be fine. I just made sure that I chewed it well enough. I can't seem to give up a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich, def a weakness of mine. I just make a half a one now.

I don't know why my dr. already had me get a fill. But he wanted me in at about 3 weeks to get it done. I went today and he said that I should not need a filll now though for at least 2 months. I thought it was weird too, cause it seems like I am the only one that has had a fill this early. Surgery jan. 17, 2009 1st fill. Feb. 5, 2009

yeah, I got mine done at Rancho Specialty hospital on Jan. 17. He is a great dr.

hey lena, yeah i am scared, i don't know what to really expect. Has anyone else got their first fill after only 2 1/2 weeks??

thank you all. I go for my first fill on Thursday, so I will talk to my doctor then, I have to say I am kinda nervous now though, i really hope that I didn't move my band around. Thank you all again

I started my pre-op diet on Jan. 7th and got banded the 17th by Dr. Milton Owens in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. I am loving this new year. though i'm getting really bored of liquids right now. but I go for my first fill this thursday, i/m kinda nervous and excited at the same time.

I got banded jan. 19 of this year by Dr. Milton Owens in Rancho Cucamonga

CONGRATS!!! :tongue: GOOD LUCK.

i am having trouble quiting too. I was going to give it up for new years because i knew that I was getting banded. Now that I am banded, I knew that I needed to quit. it is hard for me, but I know that it is something that needs to be done. I only have 2 days not smoking. Hang in there. We can do it together

I must confess that I couldn't handle only drinking fluids after the first week. I kind ate a little bit of mashed potatoes, and even some chicken. And now I am wondering if I could have hurt my stomach. I didn't feel sick after I ate, but I am still not sure, did anyone else sneak some solids in before recommended?? Am I alone on this?

I was banded on jan. 17, of this year, and I stopped loosing weight 1 week ago, I was getting really discouraged and started thinking that there was something wrong. Thanks to your question and all the people that answered I don't feel like I am alone and that this was just going to be another failed attempt at weight loss. Thank you.
