No fill yet. I have an appointment with my surgeon tomorrow, so we will see. I don't think I will get a fill as I am still loosing without one.

I am not feeling any restriction. I emailed my doctor today. He said I cannot start solids until 12/30 and he will not do a fill until 6 weeks post-op.

I guess I need to work on portion control right now and watch what I am eating.

Since I know I don't have much or any fluid in my band, not feeling any restriction is fairly normal I would guess.

Hey Larry. I'm sure you're a bit sore today, I know I was. It definitely gets better. I'm 6 days out now and feeling much better today. Let me know how you are doing.

I'm doing good so far. LOTS of gas pressure and some pain from that. My incision sites are sore when I move aruond a bunch. Overall, I'm not in as much pain as I thought I would be, but I'd like to feeling a bit better.

Surgery day itself went fairly smooth. In at 6:00 for pre-op, 8:00 for surgery. Out of recovery and in a room by noon. Of course some pain, but mostly ok. I was able to get up and walk around quite a bit, laps around the hospital floor.

Friday was ok. Up in the morning early (didn't sleep well in the hospital anyway) had a barium series to make sure everything was flowing ok and back home by noon.

Hey Tina. I'm excited for my 'Big Day' but really getting nervous as well. It's a big, life changing step. I'm ready for it, but still a little worried. I'm on liquids now, doing pretty well. It's tough though and I'm pretty hungry most of the time. I'm actually looking forward to the 'mushies' stage so I can at least have some oatmeal or mashed potatoes! :-) Good Luck on Thursday! Keep in touch and let me know how it's going.
