Well, after almost 2 months today was the day for my first fill.

She said they usually do 4 cc the first time(in a 14 cc band) but due to my previous problems when I was sick, she thought we should be conservative, she even said I could fore-go the fill because I was still not hungry between meals, but was eating closer to a cup.

We agreed on 1 cc, I sat there drinking my water in the office like instructed when around 15 minutes or so it started to get “uncomfortable” to drink water, I thought it was in my head so waited a few extra minutes and then just tried swallowing my own salvia, didn’t work.

I went back into the room and she took out .5 I felt like a real baby, holy cow I must be super sensitive! So it’s been a few hours and I am sipping away, back to my lovely liquids for 2 days and then soft for 2 before I go regular again..

I am down 44 lbs though (haven’t lost anything in a few weeks) but she said I was doing fine and not to stress about not losing that at least I wasn’t gaining, I have also lost 6.5” off my waist YEA ME!!

Hi, I was banded on March 3. I had my first fill yesterday. My MD put 3ccs in my band. I also am on liquids yesterday and today. tomorrow i start soft foods for 2 days then regular. I've lost 31 lbs so far. I wish you much success, keep up the good work.:redface:
