Congratulations of all your first fills. It usually takes several fills before enough restriction will occur. My second fill is scheduled tomorrow Oct 30. I got 1.5cc on my first fill and when the doctor installed the band on Aug 6, he pre filled the band with 1.5cc.

I haven't felt the fills so far and it's not a hurtful thing. After the fill my doctor gives me Water to drink and asks me if it is difficult or not. All people handle their fills differently but I ahve a Allergan 14cc band with 3 cc so far. Maybe when it gets closer to half way full I'll start too feel full longer.

Best wishes

So how did Ur first fill go and did they find ur port eaisly enogh and just wandered how ur feeling.

I went back to work it was my first day since having surgery it took alot out of me, luckily I'm only working 3 days this week but bending lifting still hurts a bit , but I had to do something as my disability hasn't kicked in yet and I have noooo money and 2 teen age bys with one of them in college , but on the other hand I can't eat if I have noo money lol .

However I need my Protein Shakes wich are just muscle milk banana creme flavored I drink one in the mornig and afternoon & I seem to be satisified , well I really just wanted to know how your first fill went ok keep up the journey.

It went pretty good. At first she couldnt find the middle of my port. But found it after fishing around for it. No pain at all.

They put Fluid in the band during surgery so that at your first fill they suck it out and measure it to see if any leaked. They put 3cc in my 10cc band on first fill. I go back next week ( 2 weeks later) for second fill. I want him to just pump me up and lets work backwards lol. I haven't felt much restriction or lost any weight this week. I will add that if i get up at night and try a bite of food it will not go down. During the day Im ok. Starving in the evenings

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
