I was banded 9/4/07 and I am getting my first fill next tuesday 10/9/07.

Seriously, I can not wait! I am hungry and am about eating small normal portions (lean cuisine) etc. I have not lost any weight in 2 weeks nor have I gained any. I know I should be glad but its a tad frustrating. Im hoping this fill will jump start my weight loss again.

Any early september bandsters getting ready for a fill soon????

I am scheduled for a fill on the 18th... which seems like it is FOREVER away. I am just like you...hungry and plateaud...no more weight loss for me and I am trying like crazy! I can't wait for my fill!

Hm...I don't think I'm getting a fill til the end of October!

I was banded on sept 24 and my fill is oct 28th

I'm getting my first fill on 7 Nov. It seems like forever away

Unlike most of you, I won't be getting a fill until Nov 28th, 2 full months after my band. With everything I have read, I'm not looking forward to it but know this is why I got the band. I read where the 'tightness' is in the chest area and it feels like you can't take a breath. Now for those of us (and there are plenty I have found out) that have panic issues, this is very dreadful. I have 2 months to psych myself up for the fill and can only pray I do well with it and don't panic. Good luck and God bless all of you with upcoming fills!!!

My surgery was August 24th, and my 1st fill was October 3rd. I can't tell any difference. My doctor said I already had 2cc's, and he added 1 more. He added 2cc's, but when I swallowed the berium it stayed in my pouch too long. He said he didn't want me to be too tight because I am prone to inflammation, and it was better to be safe than sorry.

My fill is on oct 18th- at this point I can pretty much eat anything as well- I am just mentally trying to prepare myself for my fills- I heard most people do not feel any restriction until their third fill. I only lost 1 lb in the last couple of weeks.

My first fill is 10/30/07.

Hi, I was banded 9/5 and won't get banded until 10/15, and can't wait. I am hungry all the time. I even ask the Dr. to come in a week early, but he said no!! I have started walking 2 miles a day, after realizing that i have gain most of my weight back. I also decided to only eat a cup of food per meal disregarding my dr. to "eat until I'm full" that's how I gained all this weight back. And like I've said already. "I'm FUSTREATED!!

Sorry I Meant I Won't Get Filled Until 10/15

sounds like we are all feeling the same way. I will post back since it seems like I am the first to go and I will let everyone know how it went and how I am feeling although I have heard from multiple people that there can be a delayed reaction to the fill so you may not feel it for up to a week.

Okay, had my first fill yesterday. .6cc's. No clue what my band size is or type. Not sure if thats avereage or conservative. On clear liquids yesterday and today. Can't tell anything. Didn't feel a thing other than him pressing on my abdomen. My boyfriend was there and about passed out watching them do it because the needle is big. I didn't see it. Nothing to report as of yet. I'll post back when I eat some foods and let you all know if I can tell anything.

I was banded 9/27 and my first fill is 10/15. The doctor has advised me I will probably not be able to tell any restriction for almost three weeks, as I'll have 3 days of clear liquids, 1 week of full liquids, and 1 week of mushies following the fill. Considering I won't have eaten a piece of "real" food from 9/25 until the middle of November, I can't wait to have the fill and at least have the opportunity to eat a small portion of "real" food.

I'll get my first fill on October 30th! Woot!

Me too Kimmie!!! I wonder why some docs want to wait 6-8 weeks. My dr insists that we get our first fill at 4 weeks.
