Hi all

I was banded 5/15/12. Today was my first fill and I must say it went better than I thought. I was given barium to swallow as my band was filled. He put 3-4 ccs in there. I say 3-4 because he said that's where he usually starts, either way, I can definitely feel the difference. I'm on liquids for 2 days. Yay more Protein shakes, oh how I've missed you... NOT! Lol

6 weeks til next fill not sure if I'll need it. It took me forever to finish a cup of decaf. We will see. Just updating those who have supported me and who cares thanks for all the support, it's greatly appreciated.

I had my first fill today as well. I got 2.5cc, she started with 3 and had to take some out because it was too tight.

How could you tell it was too tight?

I get my first fill next week. I am so ready for some restriction, I am hungry! How do you kow if it's too tight?

I'm glad your fill went well!

Good to hear your fill went well, as u lose weigth your band will often loosen up a little from the loss of visceral fat around the stomach, so dont be too quick to dismiss another fill in 6 weeks, u will probably need it

Just got my first fill!! Just a pinch and it was over. I had to stay and drink some water to be sure I wasn't too tight. I feel more restriction but no problems with the water. I'm back on soft foods until Friday.
