Just had my first fill.

Hi all,

Just wanted to tell you folks that I just got back from having my first fill. I have a VG band (I didn't know that until today) and the Dr. gave me a 4cc fill. Afterword I had to sit in his waiting room and drink a 17oz. bottle of Water to make sure everything was okay. Everything was okay, but man, it took me about 30 minutes to get all that water down. I realized then that I had absolutely no restriction until today.

I am on liquids for the next three days and then I am suppose to start on "mushies" again.

Anyway, I just wanted to tell someone about my "fill" experience. Talk to you later.

Hammer, sorry nobody answered your post. It sounds like you have really good restriction with your first fill. If you find that you are eating more than 1/2 to 1 cup of food AND not losing it is time for another fill. It took me 5 fills to feel good restriction. That and 8 montys later, ugh. Good luck.
