This is my first post, though I have been reading the forums for a while now. I am having my first fill tomorrow and I must admit to being a little nervous. Mainly I am nervous as so many others seem to be that it won't work, or they will find something wrong with the surgery. Right now I have absolutley no restriction and have actually gained a few pounds when I was put on mushy foods. My doctor warned me that I might, and not to worry about it. But I am worrying. Did this happen to anyone but me?? Okay, I am looking for the support I really think that I am going to need since I feel that I am just getting started because I have learned more about my surgery from reading responses on this site than anywhere else. Hmmm, what do you need to know... I am 42 and a low BMI surgery (36) with uncontrolled hypertension and managed high cholesterol. I teach and coach and have teenagers and a husband. I was self-pay, so that means desperate for help (and broke!!).:nervous

Hello I was banded on Oct 29th and my first fill is soon 12-12-07 I am worried my self, however I havent gained but I havent lost either. My main concern is I usd to be able to feel my port very well and now it seems harder to find this maybe normal I dont know. I know how you fill I am right there with you. Our dates are real close I would like to keep up with your progress. There is a thread somewhere that is all by the month you were banded. I hope all goes well for let me know how you fill goes and if you feel any differnt. Congrats on your new life!
