When is your first fill. My first fill is 2/17. I am getting worried about it. Has anyone have their fill yet? How is it? Did it hurt?

I had my surgery on 1/27 due to have the first fill on March 3. I saw the nutriutionist today and get to move on to mushy. Which I had already been doing some of any way. Now I have to buckle down and get the weight gone. I did not do well just having liquids.

I have my first fill on 02/25. I'm so nervous but excited!

So far I'm down 23 lbs, so I'm happy :thumbup:

I am nine days past my first fill and I believe it was not what I had hoped it to be. I feel NO restriction or anything really. No difference. I hear it takes some people a few times to get the right amount but I have to wait at least a month until my next appointment. Honestly, I am not looking forward to that experience for a few weeks. I am still slooooowly losing 1-2 pounds a week so I can't complain. I just wish I could speed things up a little without using all my willpower.:blushing: Has anyone else really slowed down?

Ok! I got my first fill tonight. It did not hurt at all. I think I have a little restruction but really don't know as of yet. I am only allow liquids for tonight. Tomorrow I move on to soft foods and by Saturday is the real test because I will be back on all foods again. I am right on with my weight for my lost of 30 lbs. Which I need to change my tacker. I will change it real soon. I am so happy, I got my fill for I was eating more than I should have been. Maybe now the scale will move again. We will see.

Hooray for you, Peanut! I know it's silly, but I'm a little envious of y'all that get fills. You're "adjustable" and I'm stuck. (pout)

Just hang in there:thumbup:. You will be here soon. We are going to get that onederland very soon. I promise.:tt2: Yes I was silly about this fill but I got through it with no problems. It really did not hurt....I was so surprise.:tt2:

I had a fill today for the first time. I have a 9cc band and they filled it with 4ccs. The hospital that is doing all of my band stuff does every fill in front of the x-ray machine. I took 3 shots of radioactive crap and the first was before the needle. They did 2cc and then I did another shot and they injected another 2cc. I took a final shot and the Dr said that it looked like there was no restriction. Great. My band is almost half full and there's nothing stopping me from eating

The Dr that is in charge of the banding patients wasn't in today, but she called and said that we will do a follow up next month with another fill if needed. I'm just scared that going back on solid foods, and with no restrictions, that I'm going to fail miserably. How much did everyone else get for their first fill?

Hi all

had lapband 27/1. i have a 13cc band and had a 8cc fill on 22/2, it dosnt hurt, the worse part is the amount of food you could eat has halfed.

Im back to docs in 6wks.

My first fill was on the 26th and I was filled with 2ccs in a 14cc band. I can only eat a 1/2 cup of food. It's the weirdest feeling for me. I got stuck a little today after eating very well piece of chewed chicken it stayed for a little bit and I was out when it happened. I did not panic and my DH knew right away what was happening. I just rubbed my chest in that area lightly and it went down. I did not know what else to do but lucky enough for me it worked or I would have been on my way to get Papaya enzymes from Trader Joe's.

I only got 1cc in my 10cc band. You were very lucky to get so much. I go in two weeks for more. I hope that my doctor will give me more next time for I still don't have any restruction at all.

How much have you losted from the time you had your surgery until now? You are doing so well. I wish I was.

Hey.. I have had 3 fills and I am at 6 cc in a 14 cc band and still don't feel restricted. I am going tuesday for another fill. I am anxious to get the weight moving off quick. The first fi hurt a bit but after that is wasn't bad.

I am getting my first fill on 9th March. Are you allowed to eat or drink beforehand? My appointment is ay 9am so I won't have too long to wait if I can't. Just wondered. Thanks.

Yes I was allowed to eat and drink before the fill. Afterwards I did not want anything. That was a great feeling. Right after my fill for the first week I could only eat about 1/2 cup but now I can eat just a little more. I know I need another fill. I eat more and no restruction at this time. I can't wait for that sweet spot that everyone talks about. :wink:

Hi, i am four days out from the band surgery and find i can eat soft foods in small amounts with no problem. i am a little disapointed. i am sure there is no or very little restriction. i cant wait till my first fill so i can start the weight loss process, that is in 5 weeks. so, is it normal to be able to eat soft foods with no problem and not really lose weight untill i start the fills? just want some confirmation i am ok and this is normal.

thanks-liz
