I've written a new blog post about my fill today... check it out @ http://www.debbieposton.com/my-1st-lap-band-fill/

Tell me what you think?

Sounds typical....I'm glad your Dr. is practical and did not get upset about you not losing weight before the band actually starts to do it's job, and realizing it is about healing and getting back to normal at this point...after an adjustment or 2 things will begin to change and your journey will begin in earnest.......my Dr. and I both agree, if I could loose weight by dieting without the band, why go through all the surgery in the first place....

Sounds like you are doing wonderful Debbie!! You are on your way.....Congrats!

Thanks for the blog!!!! I go in for my 1st fill in 5 days and very nervous. Your blog has helped me alot. Thanks

Debbie, Debbie, Debbie...Thanks so much for posting this! I was starting to think I wasn't doing so hot as I haven't really lost any weight. I am glad to read that this time after the band has been placed is all about the healing. Thanks also for describing the appointment in detail, I was worried about what my first fill would be like. I'm so happy to know that it won't be as terrible as I was thinking. I'm a big baby when it comes to needles also. Thanks again!

You are so welcome!! It makes me feel great to know that I can help someone else with this journey! This was the reason I started my blog posts. I couldn't find anything out there that explained in detail the good, the bad and the ugly of the lap band lifestyle. I am hoping by sharing my experiences that along with helping me understand my thoughts and feelings, I can assist others with this great adventure we have chosen...lol
