Hello everyone! Just wanted to share today! I had my first fill! I have a total os 3cc's in my band now. My Dr. said that i a doing great and i am doing everything correctly! My weight as of today is 194. That is 15 lbs down from my surgery day! Actually my dr. wasn't gonna give me a fill since i was doing so well and losing weight, the only reason he did was because i have been so hungry between my meals, it was beginning to be a struggle, so he agreed that a fill might help!

No i did not look at the needle but i did feel it! The initial pinch is all you really feel after that you dont' feel anything else! He had no problems finding my port after i performed a crunch! I did notice that once the needle entered my skin it took a little force to puncture the port, the surface was harder that i thought it was! But one fill down! So far i feel ok, I got the Water down with no problems and will be on clears today and full liquids tomorrow! Next Appt Oct 18th.

I also changed my profile pic to show how my face is slimming down!

I would love to here updates from my Fellow August Rushers!

Thanks

Seems like things are going very well for you. Congrats on your weightloss. You are off to a good start! Keep up the good work.

Sounds like you are doing great. I had the lapband done 8/18/10 and my first fill is on 9/17/10. I'm not hungry but I hear my stomack growling and just get tired (that's how I know I have to eat). I still do 1 shake and 2 soft meals (Weds starts 3 soft meals) but Friday is the fill. I've lost 30 lbs since 8/4/10.

So happy that I'm making food less important in my life.

Yesterday was my birthday and the surgery was a gift to myself.
