I just had to share my happiness!! I had my first fill on Friday, he gave me 3.5 cc in my small AP band, he tried 4 but I couldn't tolerate it. Adding to the 2 cc he put in during surgery, I have awesome restriction and have lost 2.5 lbs since Friday. Feel like I am finally on my way after a long 5 weeks of bandster hell.

Congrats! I have 4.5 in the small AP band. It took 3 fills to get me there. I hope your restriction sticks but don't get discouraged if it doesn't. Sometimes it takes a few fills to get to the sweet spot. Some are really lucky and never need a fill and some only need one. I hope you are one of the lucky ones.

I had my first fill today. I was banded on 2/18/08 and haven't lost a thing in 3 weeks so I hope this fill works. I got 2 1/4 cc.

I also had my fill today. Strangly, my doc told me to go back on a liquid diet for a week until my boby adjusts to the restriction. Well, I did what some may say a bad thing....I tested my toleranc today and ate some smoked sausage......NO RESTRICTION!!! I am going to do the liquids for a few days, but I was suprised That I had no restriction. AND, my doc only put in 1cc. He told me to come back in 4 weeks for my second fill. What a bummer with only 1 cc

yes, i was disappointed too. have a 12cc band and no fill at surgery. dr. gibbs in littlerock said his policy is only 1cc at a time every month. this will take forever to feel restricton. and i can eat anything after the first one. i go back april 10 to get my 2n. fill. hope its better. im getting discouraged

Love this Thread i have my 2nd fill on March 14th of 1cc

after having 3cc put in when i got banded on 8th of Nov

which i didn't know about .

I'm amazed on how much it cuts your food intake down by

can not really eat bread any more but don't miss it .

Just wanted to say all the best to all
