I got my 2nd fill 2day n it was much better than the 1st one. I got 4ccs 2day wow!!! N i feel tight. So the 1st fill dec 21st 6ccs n 4ccs 2day. Im on my way 2 success. I couldnt even finish 1/2 cup of coffee, hello restriction ...

Yeah, I got my yesterday. At the doctor's office I could barely hold down water but the tightness is already disappearing (I think) b/c I could hold down watery oatmeal this morning. Someone told me it leaves after a week - geez, I really want the tightness to stay!! Good luck!!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the restriction stays with you! So glad it went so much better for you!

How many cc is your band?

How many cc is your band?

11 or 12 but the doc sd it cn hold up 2 14ccs. quick question my doc office is closed now after 5pm. after a fill do we do clear liquids or full liquids bc i cnt even get coffee down....

I had my first fii 4cc Jan 5. Felt tight in doc office but the day couldn't tell I had fill. stay hungry very discouraged. go Feb. 3rd for second fill. I feel like I have gained. stay hungry.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the restriction stays with you! So glad it went so much better for you!

hey juliansmom im glad this fill went better 2. im praying that the restriction stays. how r u doing? was it hard for u 2 get liquids down after ur 2nd fill? did u do clear liquids or full liquids?

Tiff- I don't get my 2nd fill until Feb 25. I know I felt no different after the first one though. Most people aren't hungry the day they get their fill, but I was ravenous within an hour.

I'm doing okay thanks for asking. Getting in 2 miles a day, upping the Protein, Water and calories. We'll see what happens. I am praying that the next four weeks go fast or someone cancels their appt lol

I am on my 5th fill...banded on 9/23

I had no restriction with # 1 and #2

# 3 I had restriction and lost 15lbs in the month of December.

I had fill # 4 on January 4th and had ZERO restriction...less than before the fill...WEIRDDDD

So fill # 5 was last Thursday and I can only eat a tiny amount of food since and am really losing

I only have 5.4cc in my 14 cc band!

my first fill was 3cc i had to eat liquids for 48 hours. I felt resriction for two 1/2 weeks then got the stomach flu had to go to hospital. when you have the band its hard for stuff to come back up when you get a bug. you have to go to ER to get meds to stop it. Anyway I think it stretched the band or something ever since i have no resriction. I go for next fill next week and i'm going to ask the dr about it. Just wanted to warn ya bout the bug. i went to the hospital where i got my band and they rushed me straight back and gave me something to stop the vomit. hope your restriction last, can't wait till i get mine next week. How many calories are you eating?

i wish u well. I was counting my calories n i was trying 2 eat around 1000-1100 a day then my doc told me nt 2 count calories bc Im nt on a diet???? so I really dnt know what 2 do after my 2nd day of fluids is over. my doc sd I should take 2-3 bites of food n b full. how am i suppose 2 count calories off that??? I know every doc is different im going 2 follow this booklet he gave me n hopefully it works. when i gt home from the gym 2nite i tried 2 eat some yogurt 2 tea spoons was all I could manage. maybe Ill try some beef broth 2morrow.,. :-) Im on the move
