I had .5 taken out yesterday, they told me that the band was definatley too tight. The vomiting causes the swelling and within a few more days I would not of been able to get Water down. Feeling better now. Good luck.

Had my last fill approx a month ago. After 3 weeks I really started feeling everything getting stuck. Had to walk out of a couple of business lunches to make the restroom to throw up. I am going to get an unfill this week it's amazing how just a .5 difference in your fill makes.

I hope so I need to lose 26-30 lbs to get under 300 on my birthday Oct 28th. Currently 325 lbs starting weight was 371.

I was self pay and also submitted a claim for my hernia repair too. Ins sent it back ( of course) and asked for more info which I did turn in a couple of weeks ago. Still no update yet but I will post when I find something out.

I was banded in April 2010 w a 14 cc band, I had my first fill in June of 6cc and a fill this past week of 2.2cc for a total of 8.2cc. I have lost 45 lbs to date but this restriction is really noticeable.

So easy to do when you are in a hurry.

My surgery date was April 28th with Dr Jessee too. My starting weight was 371. I have a 14cc band and got my first fill on June 8th 6.6cc. I did notice restriction right away but things seemed to get easier to eat and digest. I have lost a total of 45 lbs since preop and have started working out much more. I notice I am starting to drift up on the scale and am scheduled for another fill this week. I am hoping to get to the better restriction after this fill and see the weight start dropping.

Don't worry be happy! I was banded on April 28 and just had my first fill yesterday. The liquid diet following post op is very boring and the mushies are only a little better in my experience. Just don't give in and follow your drs orders. I think we all kind of expect to notice something right away and dont. There is not restriction in your band yet but believe me you will know when they fill it. Stay the course and be blessed.

I was banded on April 28th and since preop have lost 32 lbs. I had my first fill yesterday 6.6 cc in a 14 cc band.

I was banded on April 28th and since I started my preop diet have lost a total of 31 lbs. I get my first fill on June 8th and am ready for it. I really feel no restriction at all right now but am making every effort to eat sensibly. I have been doing more physical work every day and am trying to get on an excercise program. Good luck with your fill.

I know what you mean, I was banded on April 28th and after moving to mushies I have no appetite either. I do try to stay on a schedule with eating though. I am looking forward to my first fill.

I was banded on April 28th and am just now starting to feel better. I work out of the house too and I have limited my outside travel, I think the post op diet is quite tough to maintain and I know I have had headaches almost everyday till yesterday. Ready for some variety, stay active good luck.

I was banded on the 28th too. And still very bloated feeling. I have been walking and taking gasx but still no real relief. My weight is down 5 lbs since surgery. Overall 24 lbs since preop.

I was banded yesterday too, outpatient. Very little pain, but I am taking my meds anyway. I have had the hickups quite often since surgery which is not pleasent. Other than that just hungry for something different. Best of luck in your progress.

I got banded today about 11:00 am. My experience was great! Got to the hospital about 30 min before surgery. They took me back and got ready, pre op prep about 1 hour. Left the hospital around 2:00 pm. Couple of naps, walking around, and following post op menu. Hope your experience is as good.
