When I went in for my first fill, six weeks after surgery, my PA was shocked when he pulled out 5cc. He said that was the most he ever had seen. He did a fill of 4.8, which put me at 9.8. Great restriction. Another month later, I went back for my second check up, and he thought we should try a little more. He put in another 1.2cc, which put me at 11 in a 14cc band. The next week, I went back because I was unable to eat any type of solid food without pain, massive slime and pb'ing, and he took out 0.5cc, so right now I'm back at 10.5cc, which is good. I have enough restriction to make me think about how much and what I eat, without the pb'ing. I've lost 56 pounds since April 23.

1120 plus my 38 equals 1158!!

I was banded on 4/23 and have lost 27 pounds since starting my preop diet. My first fill is scheduled for next week on 6-3. I can't wait! I've noticed my appetite has been increasing.

My doctor told me the same thing about the green urine. They also warned that my lips and tongue could be blue because of the dye that they use to check for leaks. That really would have freaked me out if I didn't know about it before hand. :drool:
