  2. First fill...

    · juliecook · 10/25/2010 20:18

    Hi everyone. Today I had my first fill. I was a little nervous. I have a 10cc band and they put 3.5cc in it. Thank god I feel a little restriction. I am back on fluids today. I was down 26lbs so I am so excited. Not too bad for one month. The procedure was painless and took about 5 seconds to fill.. My only regret is that I didn't do the surgery sooner. I was supposed to do it last year but chickened out and told myself I could do it on my own. Needless to say another year went by and I was still the same weight, Maybe even a little heavier.. so thank god for this band!!!:wub::thumbup:

  3. Hunger has returned.

    Hi everyone, I had surgery almost three weeks ago . I have lost 23 pounds. Yesterday for some reason I went from liquids and mushy foods to a chicken nugget and a few cookies. I feel like i am totally hungry. Then I woke up this morning and started snacking again. I almost don't feel any restriction.. I go at my month appointment. I guess I need a fill. Has this happened to anyone else?

    I had surgery on Tuesday everything went well. I have been having some gas pains but the worst thing is i have a yeast infection. The Dr. Thinks its from the antibiotics they gave me before surgery. Fun times. Besides that im feeling good..

    Hi Everyone,
    It has been one week today since my surgery. I am feeling really good. Im back into the swing of typical mommy day. I am still on pain medication but only every 8 hours. I still am not getting in enough protein. I went to the doctor yesterday and was down 15 pounds. Im sure some of that is water weight. But I was sooo excited.. I can't wait until I can eat some mussy foods :confused:

I have a 3.5 cc fill and Still not filling up as much as I would like to. I am getting a fill in 3 more weeks. So just wondering how much and how big your bands are. Thanks..
