  1. At 246 lbs, checked into hospital 6 am, home by 11:30; no complications. On 5/13/10, at 233 lbs, had first fill, 3 cc's in 10 cc band. I feel no restriction whatsoever! As a matter of fact, I feel no diff today then before WLS. WTF?
  2. Wish there was some numbing medication for the numbing medication! Stings! Wah, wah...:thumbup:
  3. Don't be scared, be happy, you'll soon see how smoothly everything will work out. I was admitted at 6:30 am & home by 11:30 am with no complications! I'm excited for you! Congrats!!!
  4. I had my first fill yesterday & don't feel any difference. I feel the same as I did w/o the band. The PA stuck me several times before she supposedly found the port. How does one know if they actually got the solution into the port. I am bruised & the area surrounding the port area is swollen. Hmmm...
  5. I fill the more people you tell, the more pressure on you. I only told my immediate family living in my home. You can always decide to tell more people in the future if you want, but you can't unring a bell.
