New to this forum

I am brand new to this forum. I had LapBand done on 9/15/03, and would like to talk to others and find out how they have done with it and how many fills before they really felt that "tight" feeling I have been told will happen.

It varies a lot from person to person. For me, I've had 2 fills (now at 2 CCs) and feel pretty good about my level of restriction. I am not 100% decided though...might bump it up to 2.5 CCs soon.

Thank you for the information. I just get impatient with this.

Hi sassyred! I had my band 9/17/03, close to your date! I will be getting my first fill this week, day before thanksgiving of all times....but i have never been able to eat more than 4-6 oz since surgery, I wondered if i should hold off on the fill. How are you doing?
