So--today was my first fill. I was worried about nothing! I apparently have a good amount of scar tissue but it wasn't a big deal.

I have 3 cc in my 10cc band. I go back in two weeks for another tweak. So far, no issues eating....I had a yogurt and blended food tonight.

Phew......I am glad that is behind me.

Now...to they gym I go......

YaY! Congrats!

My first fill was today too! 6.4 cc's in a 10 cc band. Doc has me on liquids for 24 hours, so not sure how eating will go, but so far, I can't feel any restriction at all with my shakes. How about you? Feel any different?

Nice job on the pre-fill weight loss. Keep it up girl!

Congrats to you both on your weight loss. I had my first fill on 11/27/10. My bad is 14CC and the Dr added 4 CC. The fill didn't hurt @ all. I haven't felt any restrictions yet but i'm just now back on mushy foods

Thanks and same to you my dear!

Hi,

I am not sure about restriction or not.....I don't really feel different, although I do feel satisfied for longer.

I am on mushies for 2 days, then soft food for 2 days, then "normal" eating.

Congrats on your success so far!

I'm so glad to see that your first fill was no big deal. I have my first one tomorrow. I am so hoping to feel some restriction. I have been so hungry for the past week. I was fine the first 5 weeks, and then one morning I woke up and thought to myself, "geez, I could eat a whole side of beef or something!". I have restrained myself (lost 28.5 lbs since surgery on Oct 19th), but did probably eat a little too much chicken tonight.

Great job keeping yourself in check. VERY hard to do. I told my husband a couple days ago I was contemplating eating his arm off while laying in bed. I was SO HUNGRY! Great that you are making good food choices and ate a little too much chicken, not a piece of pie. Kuddos.

Not sure if my first fill did anything today because I'm still on liquids, but I can say that the Protein powder is keeping me satisfied, so maybe that's a good sign? I will say, it was almost painless (the fill I mean). I was nervous all morning, and then it was NOTHING when it happened. Good luck!
