Well, I went for my first fill today after being banded 6 weeks ago, I lost 19 lbs and down 4.5 % on my BMI, WOOHOO!!:party:

After my nut. found out I was able to eat anything she filled my AP Standard 10cc band with 5 cc's, I thought this might be too much but she seemed to think it would be fine, I drank some Water before I left and it did'nt seem to get stuck then when I got home I had a slim fast and now I'm full...

Hopefully I will start losing a little bit each week without much hunger.

Thanks to everyone for all their advice since I've been on here, it has really helped.

Interesting. My first fill went well too. However, my PA was more conservative. She put in 2.25 in a 10cc band. For me, water always went right through, but the barium liquid was slower and that is what she judged by. My 2nd visit for eval possible 2nd fill was supposed to be today, but was canceled. Doctor in Hawaii I'm guessing.

Yeah, my nut. told me if it started feeling to tight after awhile to come back in and she would take some out, I'm on liquids for 2 days so we'll see...

Hopefully though I won't have too though...

Must be nice to vacation in Hawaii, but if you're a doctor you can vacation anywhere you want too..:party:
