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 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 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.

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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
