Had my band installed on April 1 and have been following 800-1000 cal and 100 g protein, got my first fill at standford using flourascope (x-ray) was able to see the position of my band and watch as my Dr added 5cc of saline. Was given a numbing shot for the port and then he gets a needle that is 5" long and inserts in the port and left it there while I walked over to the x-ray, a little unnerving but no pain what so ever. I am down 65# and have 32# to go. very little restriction noted after fill ,staying with liquids for 5 days.

You're down 65 lbs in 7 weeks?

Had my first experience with getting stuck, took my grandson camping and my wife picked up some sandwiches from subway. I had been able to eat sourdough toast so, I thought egg white, ham,turkey with cheese on flatbread would be safe! WRONG!! Made the mistake of eating standing up it took me about 5 min to get UNSTUCK. Boy what a wake up call.
