I just had my first fill 2 weeks ago under fluro and I have less restriction that before the fill. That has got to be strange, right? I am just wondering if maybe my stomach has healed a little more from the initial surgery b/c my fill was before the 6 week mark. I am one of the few who had restriction after surgery and lost about 15 lbs and now I have gained 1-2lbs. :crying:So frustrating, going to call the doc tomorrow and see how soon I can get a fill. I was so happy that I went down a size in pants and now scared I will gain again. Until then, I will be fighting the hungry monster. Happy Halloweenie to all! :blushing:

Hello! I was banded on Sept. 3, had my first fill one week ago. It seems I felt more restriction before the fill. That sounds strange, I'm sure. I still have some restriction, so I think maybe I just had some swelling for quite awhile after surgery. So far, I am down 30 lbs. I had to lose 12 before surgery. I am excited that I have gotten to do one sweep through my closet to get rid of the things that were falling off. I have never in my life had a pair of jeans fall to my knees while walking and thankful that it happened in my house! LOL...I have been reading a lot of posts and information on this site and have been meaning to become more engaged because I think it will help me keep on track. I hope everyone is having a great week! :cursing: Lisa.e

Hi Desiree, I have found that there are many people in my life who I have not told about the band. It seemed like there were far too many judging me before surgery, so I just stopped talking about it. It has been a process, for sure! Take care, Lisa.e

Hi, I will be 6 weeks tomorrow and had my first fill on Oct. 12. I too had stayed at the same weight without losing anymore for about a week before my fill. I have lost 4 lbs. just since the fill. I am sure it is partially to do with the liquid diet after my fill, LOL! Anyway, the restriction is good, not uncomfortable like I was afraid of. I am definitely eating less. It's hard to eat all my Protein in 3 set meals, so I have to throw in a couple yogurt "snacks". Altogether I am down 30lbs. I had to lose 12 before surgery. My starting weight was 252. lisa.e Banded September 3, 2010
