Holy Smokes!!!! First Lap Band Fill



Recommended Posts

Got my first fill. I somehow managed to drop nearly 10 pounds in nov. I have no idea how...i'm hungry a lot and some days I feel like I dont even have a band. The fill was pretty painless... As he's doing it he says he's putting in 5 ccs. I say seriously??!! Then he finishes while I am panicing...picturing myself pb'ing on my own salvia lol. He tells me his standard first fill is 4-6 ccs. Wow. Seems aggressive to me. Anyone else?? I am sitting here in the waiting room. Water is going down fine. Oh, and my saliva too. Lol.

My first fill was on Dec 1st and even though I lost 14 pounds in November they gave me a 5 CC fill...I was like wow!! I really didnt think I needed quite that much since I was losing but its working! Im not eating as big as portions now and am NOT hungry in between meals. Actually Im not even that hungry at meal times..lol

I got 5 ccs my first fill too. It took me by surprise too. And I already had 1.5 ccs in the band that I never knew about. But I say fill 'er up! I have another fill next week. Can't wait.

I got 4 cc's. My doctor said the first one is big because not only is he filling the band but also all that tubing.

I had my first fill yesterday Dec. 8th and only had 1.5 cc's put into my empty band. I can tell a difference because it takes me like an hr. to drink my Protein Shake.< /p>

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
