HELP! I am not sure what I should do. I was banded on 6/30/2010, my dr. dosn't do a first fill until one month after surgery, but that would put my first fill right before I leave for a vacation. He did say he would do it a few days early and I could have earlier in the week so I would have a couple of days before I leave, but should I do it then or wait another two weeks and do it when I get back? I am hungry and going threw "Bandster Hell" but I am dealing with it pretty well. I would love to get started on the actual losing weight part of this, and not the struggling to get threw part, but I am afraid if I have any problems adjusting maybe I don't want that to be while I am staying with family that I haven't even told I had the surgery yet. But then again if I wait I will have my fill just as I am returning to work, they don't know I had the surgery either, and that might not be the best time to get used to my first fill either. What do those of you who have actually had a fill suggest? Do you think it will be a hard adjustment for me, should I do it before I go on vacation or when I get back? This is really stressing me out, mostly because I haven't told very many people, just my kids and hubby of course, and a very few friends that I am around regularly and having the surgery effected things I was able to do with them. None of my family back home know about this, and I prefer to keep it that way for now because I don't expect them to be supportive of it, they are too negative about things and would probably have stories about people who this did not work for. As far as work, I haven't told anyone because I work for a school and I did this during the summer and haven't really seen them yet, but their will be very few people there that I will tell either, because it is none of their business and I prefer to keep it private. What should I do:confused: How did your first fills go?

Congratulations on your wedding! Where are you going on your honeymoon? Sorry you are having issues with your band again, hopefully this next adjustment will be just right. I have no idea what size band I have, are their very many commonly used sizes? I am feeling better about waiting, I think I mostly just needed to come to a decision and get my mind around it. Thanks for your input! Pam

Thanks Pam! We are going to the Oregon Coast for our honeymoon. Going to a little beach town called Pacific City! It's really beautiful there! My Aunt and Uncle have a house at the beach that they have offered us to stay....it's really nice! We can't wait! I hope I'll get to the right adjustment Monday! I think there are some people with older band who have smaller one...I think they are 5cc, then I've heard of a 10cc then the one I have 14cc. Not sure if that's all....but that's what I've heard of. If you just got banded it's probably a 10 or 14cc band.

I'm glad the imput helped you with your decision! Good luck with everything!
