I had my first fill today with flouroscopy. The surgeon put 5 cc in my 10 cc band. Back to liquids for 24 hours.

That is sooo awesome to hear you're getting filled with flouro! You're gonna do great. Keep us posted.

Thanks. It was so cool to watch too LOL

Yes....but more importantly, you AND your Doctor, KNOW what your restriction level is. NO GUESSING! ALL fills should be this way in my opinion.

How are you feeling?

I can't really feel the difference yet since I am on liquid right now. But the fill is no biggie. It took less than 10 min for the procedure.

Can you tell the difference?

Can you tell the difference?

Yes I can feel the difference. It's harder to get all the liquids down but it's better in the long run. My band started at 3cc,now I am at 4cc.

LOL! Now I can feel the difference. I had chicken for lunch I think I had a bit too big of a bite and I felt it. It feels like something is in the middle of my chest below my sternum. It was a bit annoying/uncomfortable but not painful. Guess I have to really slow down and take smaller bites.

I feel sort of the same as before the fill but i am also being very cautious and conscious about how i am eating! Lol

I go back in 3 weeks for another fill.....i wonder if then it will be more noticeable?
