I was banded on February 6th. I had my first fill today. I was prepared for a little bit of discomfort when my surgeon "stuck" me, but I didn't feel anything! He had absolutely no problem finding the port:thumbup:, and it was over before I knew it. :laugh: Then, he had me drink a little bit of water, and eat a peanut butter cracker, to see if everything was okay. It was! It kind of feels like it did the first week or so after surgery. I was instructed to drink liquids today, advance to "mushy" foods tomorrow, then move on up to solid foods on Thursday. My weight is now 271.4, down from 310. So, that's nearly a 40 pound weight loss since the two week pre-op diet and surgery. Woo-hoo!!!:w00t::wink::smile::hurray:
