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

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
