Hi All -

I am finally getting my first fill tomorrow! I have only lost 27 lbs since my pre op on May 5th! I don't eat much, definatly smaller portions and only Water all day - no more soda (it's been 2 months - I don't think I miss it anymore:w00t:) But I keep losing 2 lbs and gaining them back - so my question is - once I get filled tomorrow - will things getting better and will I start seeing more results???? And is there anything I need to be prepared for with me getting my fill? Can I eat before the fill - I am a little nervous about tomorrow - should I be?

thanks

Congrats! Your first fill may or may not make things better. every one is different. my 1st fill was 4cc in a 15cc band. My dr said at 4cc it basicaly just fills the balloon and port tube. It seemed to actually did nothing for me. no swelling, no new restriction. My dr told me to sched my ext appt for 1 month but come back sooner if I was still hungry alot. So I had my second fill a week and a half later. 2 more ccs and I am still not restricked yet, but food stays with me a little longer. So I am a lil happier and I am eating less. :thumbup: Although I would like to go get 1 more cc next week(my 2nd fill was just this past friday). My dr says as far as prep, just dont eat 2hrs before thne fill. bDont be nervous. Wear comfortable clothes you can take your top off, some women dont like wearing dress's to get their fills. Its a pinch in your port area and done within 10 seconds. You will be fine and probably looking for anouther fill asap when you realize your body can handle it!
