I won't lie and say it was painless, but it wasn't horrible. I bled and bled and bled afterwards (I'm on Plavix), and I wasn't expecting that. It stings afterward, but goes away fairly quickly. I just kept saying to myself, "This is part of it. It won't happen a lot. It will help me lose weight." the whole time and that seemed to help. Right now, I would say that I am right where I need to be as far as a fill goes. I feel lucky in that sense, because I've heard some people take 3 or more fills to get it right. I'm losing weight now and rarely feel hungry. I NEVER thought I would be able to say "I'm not hungry." I could ALWAYS eat before the band- didn't matter if I had eaten a full buffet- Bring on the Desserts. The band is a BLESSING and I'm willing to take that uncomfortable feeling to get to where I want to be!!!

mandyg, let us know how your fill goes. Praying that you get just the right amount the first time!!

Don't be nervous!! It is fine! I just wasn't informed about what it felt like beforehand. People told me "You won't feel a thing."- Yes, you will, but it isn't bad- just not as comfortable (for me) as some had experienced.

I feel happier and have more energy too Mandyg! A question for all of you who have had the lapband. I get a pain where my stomach is almost every time after I eat. It's not bad but it's worrysome. I go in Tuesday but it has just been happening the last week or so. I don't know if something has happened to my band or what. Have any of you had anything similar? Thanks!!

Meemee I get the same thing only a couple of times though. It makes me think I either didn't chew enough or take small enough bites. I really don't feel too much restriction yet, my first fill is on Wednesday, looking forward to it!! I've been at the same weight for about 2 weeks now, since starting mushies. Kind of discouraging but I'm hoping the fill will make a difference. I'm even wondering about that now as I've seen some say they didn't feel any restriction after the first fill. I hope I do! Especially since my doctor is an hour and a half away.

Hey guys!

I was banded on march 15 and just went in for my third fill! I am hoping that the hungers go way and I find my green zone very soon! I have 5ccs in a 14 cc band. So far I have lost thirty pounds and am felling much better. Not as tired all the time.

Can't wait to hear more stories from everyone!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
