Hello All-

I had my first fill today 4.5 cc's, I believe- I think they said I had the 11 size band or something- Anyway- it was a piece of cake---I wish it was really cake!

No- it was quick and painless- I was anxious over nothing! So- we'll see how the next few days go. I need to update my ticker....down 25 lbs so far- 10 pre-op and 15 post-op.

So, it didn't hurt too bad? You were banded the day before me. I have my first fill next week and I keep wondering if it is going to hurt. You are doing great with the weight loss. I am kinda stuck. I don't feel any restriction now.

Wannabeskinny-

I hear ya- I felt no restriction before my fill- I felt hungry most of the time- I started walking almost everynight and my new treat is Crystal light lemonade in the blender with ice cubes- like a lemon slushie- I drink it all the time-

The fill didn't hurt at all---I mean it- I didn't even feel the needle prick- they sprayed some numbing spray, located the port with the x-ray and that was it-

the worst part was the barium swallow! It was quick and easy-

don't be worried about it at all.

Good luck- be sure to post after your fill.

Oh, by the way your name is Keri and mine is Cari.
