I am happy to say I got my first fill yesterday! My Dr took out the saline he put in during surgery, to my amaze it was 4cc. I have a 10cc band and yesterday he added another 2cc, so I now have 6 cc in and my surgery was on November 26, 2013. I am happy to say all my fear was for nothing. I didn't even feel when he put the needle in the port, or the fill.. Than you Jesus! I was even given a needle to carry on me at all times in case I had to go to the emergency room for so unforeseen reason, so they would have the needle they needed incase they needed to access my port in a case of emergency. I am happy to say I'm on the Liquids for 48 hour, then back to regular eating. No bread, No beef. On my way to a health new me. So excited!!

Glad to hear your good news!

Why no beef? My dr pushes beef. I think he was a cattle farmer in his former life.... Congrats! You're on your way!

never heard of dr. giving patient needles, but I can understand his reasoning...

congratulations..

wow great job you will really notice the help now. I have the same band with 6.5 cc and that has been my green zone....

Thanks so much, I do notice the difference now. I had to remind myself to eat and drink something. It's amazing.

Marci he says beef is hard to digest and takes the longest to digest and your red meat is you fatty meats.

My Dr said they were suppose to give it to me after my surgery before I went home! But they forgot, so he gave it to me yesterday. When I asked him why he stated most emergency rooms do not have the proper needle they use for a fill. So incase of an emergency he gives it to his Patiences to carry on them at all times. You never know

I was told no beef for the first three months.
