Sorry, new at this poll thing. Looking to see when people got their first fill, especially to see how all the August All Stars are doing and when they are/have gone? :thumbup:

I got my band 8/29 and will get my first fill 10/9 provided I'm all healed etc. That's just at 6 weeks. YAY! So excited!

I was banded on August 4 and got my first fill on September 8, 5 weeks post-op. My next one is scheduled for October 20.

I was banded on 7/15/08. I got my 1st fill after 8 weeks.

I was banded Aug. 9 and got my first fill 4 weeks later. This gave me very little restriction. A week later, I got another fill. I feel like I might be a little too tight but I'm sticking with it(I'm losing 4 lbs per week). I'm scheduled to go in for another fill this Tues. but I think that I'm going to cancel it.

I was banded Aug. 25th and go in for my first fill on Oct. 7th. Six weeks after surgery. Looking forward to it. I'm stuck this week and actually gaining ounces (I'm back to all foods now). Friday's WI doesn't look good. We'll see though.

I was banded on Aug. 8 and got my first fill today! It was soooo easy! I was ready for it too; I haven't lost anything in a few weeks and was getting down on myself. My dr. said, don't worry about it; this is a slow process and you're doing great. So I feel a lot better. He also said it would take 2 days before I could tell a difference, which I thought was weird.

I was banded on 9/12 and I will have my first fill Oct.20th. 5 weeks postop! So far so good, I am just anxious to see how I will feel after the first fill?

Hi all, I was banded on 8/12 and am scheduled to get my first fill on Oct 14th. I can't wait I have been stalled for a couple of weeks now.:confused: Will let you know how it goes.

I had my first fill this past Wed. I was just over 5 months out, 2cc in 14cc band. I have lost about 80 pounds so far.

I just got my first fill this past Thursday 9/25/08. I was 15 weeks out from surgery. I got 2 cc, but I found out that I already had 2 cc in my band to start with. So I now have a total of 4 cc in my 10 cc band.

Been banded since Sept 2nd which makes it 4 weeks tomorrow. Got my first fill Monday, Sept. 29th. Next one is scheduled for Nov. 1st.

Was banded Sept. 4th and will go in for first fill on Oct. 9th, 5 weeks out. Hunger has increased a tiny bit but still staying pretty satisfied with the 3 meals a day, which are small amounts. Looking forward to finding out the size of my band and if any cc's were added at the time of my surgery.

I was banded 08/15, got my first fill today. Started with 3cc, but I started throwing up so they took it down to 1.5cc's. Good news was it didn't hurt at all.

I was banded August 21, 2008. I got my first fill on 10/09/08, he put 2.5 cc in my band. I really cannot tell yet when I eat but the good thing is that my hunger has been in check since I got the band. I have lost 30 lbs so far and doc says I'm doing great, getting another fill in 6 weeks. Well see. Overall the fill process didn't hurt a bit, my 4 year old was with me and watched LOL

I was banded on 8/29/08 I received my first fill on 9/23/08 (3 wks and 4 days out) and that fill was 2cc.....nothing different at all so I called the dr and they told me to come back the following week 9/29/08 and I received another fill of 2.5 cc so my grand total is 4.5cc in my 10cc band. I feel a silght difference but nothing major. I have had a few episodes with chicken but that is getting better as well. I am scheduled for another fill on 10/20/08 which should get me to where I need to be I hope. I am down 20lbs since surgery and I just started working out so I hope to see more results soon!!! :thumbup:
