First Fill !!!!

[PeachesPJ 0]

I had my 1st fill yesterday afternoon. I was 6 weeks out. I had a good brunch before going to the doctors. He added 1cc to the 3cc already in the band from surgery. I am guessing most of that is in the tubing going from the port to the band itself. I tried to get him to tell me what band and size I give, but he skirted the answer for some reason. I am guessing that since I have 4 cc, must be one of the 10 cc bands. I am going to try and get the nurse to tell me next time. He also told me not to come back for 6 weeks??? I am not hungry this first day while I am on liquids. Will have to wait a couple to days to see.

I had my first fill about 5 weeks out and it was 4.5cc in a 10cc band. My doc said not to go hungry, but call right back if it wasn't enough. I quickly discovered I needed more, but due to my own schedule, couldn't get down there until this Friday. Can't wait to get more of a fill. I'm starving.

I am down 3 lbs since I got my fill on monday. OF course, I was on liquids the last 2 days. Eating tuna for lunch today and fill a little more restriction then before.

My first fill was a nightmare!!! My vagus nerve was overstimulated by the adding saline / drinking Water cycle and I almost passed out twice, then I threw up about 8 times. My doctor said he never had a patient get sick during a fill...I was the first.

I had my 2nd fill today and it went okay...I felt like I was going to pass out once, but after I laid down for about 5 minutes I was fine.

1st fill - 1cc

2nd fill - 3 cc

Wow, Kalia, your doing good with 36 lbs lost. I won't get my next for 6 weeks, which is a suprise. I guess if I don't lose any weight, or its very slow I can call and get one.

We will have to see. I feel full most all day, but, like most others, I am hungry before bed!!!
