Posts like this kinda freak me out. My surgeon doesn't do the' date=' as he put it, "Cookie cutter" fills. Where you go and get a cc on your first fill, a cc on the second and so on and so on. What he does is on your first visit, they access the port and lock it down 100% so Water can't even get through, then sit you up on the edge of the bed and have you drink a few gulps of Water, then they slowly remove the Fluid till you feel the water start to drain into the stomach, and that's your "sweet spot" for the fastest weight loss.

Reading about someone having these kinds of reactions to a 1 or 2 cc fill make me worried about suddenly getting a 8 - 9 cc fill all at once on the first visit. But he said that his patients lose as much weight as a bypass patient in their first year by cutting out all the time it takes to find your "sweet spot".[/quote']

Oh my! That's kind of scary. Never heard of folks being done that way, but he is the expert. Not me.

I went through the same scenario of nearly ending up in the ER with just a fill of .3 in my band. I have never hurt that bad in my life, and I have a very high tolerance for pain. I'm just so happy we have this board to go to for discussion. It has calmed my nerves many times! I got another fill today after having to get an unfill last month. Hoping this is my last one!!
