Hello everyone,

I had my first fill on the 16th of this month and it was 1.5cc. At first I felt a huge amount of restriction but now I find myself being able to eat a little more. I'm mainly eating twice a day and healthy Snacks in between. Is this normal or is something wrong? I go in for my next fill next month on the 12th.

I was the same way! After my first 3 fills I couldn't see any difference. I am just now getting good restriction after I believe my 5th fill. I have 6.5 in a 14 CC band. It should get better with each one.

Oh wow. Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one this is happening too lol. I feel like I can handle more food now and it's making me think something is wrong with my lapband..I wonder how much the second fill will be next month.

I honestly thought the same thing. I thought something was wrong with my band and I was always wondering if I did something wrong. I think you are on the right path it just takes a while to get there. I had surgery 10/30/16 and I am just getting to where I need to be. When did you have surgery?

It keeps throwing me off and messing with my emotions lol. I had surgery February 10th and I've lost 16 pounds but now I'm at a complete standstill. I didn't listen to the after care too much and ended up eating solids a little too soon but my doctor said that was ok. I just don't know really know anymore... it's frustrating

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
