I have my first fill this Friday already counting down the days. So, I'm not nervous about the procedure but was wondering anyone's experiences after. Like did u feel any restriction? Etc. thanks

My first fill is in 2 weeks...good question. I am starving!

Be sure the stay on liquids and then mushies for as long as your doc specifies.. Each fill comes with a little swelling so once you're passed those first few days, the tightness may lessen. But everyone is different. You may need only a fill or two before reaching your green zone. Others may need more. And as you lose, the band may become less restricting due to loss of fatty tissue. It sure is a journey! Good luck!

Congrats on what you have done so far. You might not feel anything until you get back on solids. Just make sure to follow your doctor's instructions.

I may be getting my first fill this week also.I am wondering if im gonna feal deprived all the sudden?? Im really dreading it. I hear people on here say they can only eat 3 bites of food. I alwayss thought half your plate should be veggies.now i hear eat protein . Im just worrried. I wonder do i have to get a fill if im losing? can i get a small fill so i can still have a half of roll now and then? PLEASE just tell me what to expect in my future.Ive never met a lapbander. Thanks

Trust me, you will not feel deprived that's how the band works! Trust yourself and keep talking to your nutritionist!

I had my first fill 2 hours ago! He injected 3 cc's. I felt fine in his office! Wow it's tight! Just breathing thru it!

Thanks

I have had two fills. I was banded march 8, 2013.

4cc at surgery. 1.5cc at first fill, and .6 at second for a total of 6.1 in a 10cc band.

I feel nothing. I can eat and drink anything I want. I wasn't sore after my fills, the first one was airflow uncomfortable. Second fill I didn't even feel. I am just trying to eat small meals throughout my day to stay somewhat satisfied. I exercise and drink tons of Water. I cannot tell I even have a band.

Some people (lucky people) find restriction very easy. Hopefully you will, that's why we got the band? Right? Good luck!

I was banded on March 11, 2013 and got my second fill on yesterday, now at 6.5 cc and I am not feeling as hungry as I had been over the past few weeks.

I haven't felt any restrictions but it is wise to follow the instructions given. Drink lots of water and be sure to get your protein.

Good luck :-)

I didn't feel anything until about the third fill. Tighter in the mornings.

Rojasanoll, I've been told that I will notice a change after the third fill. I have noticed so far that I am not as hungry as I have been.
