On Tuesday I had my 3rd fill (I was 3mos post-op). Until Tuesday, I was all but cursing the LapBand, wondering why I spent so much money when I was just using willpower anyway. I had only lost 4 lbs since surgery, and was VERY discouraged. But since my fill on Tuesday, I FINALLY feel relieved! THIS IS WHAT I WANTED! I now have a stopping point, no willpower needed! I'm not hungry! This is great!

So those of you that are still on your first or second fills, hang in there, sooner or later, you'll get here! This all IS worth it!

i guess it depends how big your band is,some have 4cc band

I have a 4cc band (my doc calls it a "standard" band), and for my first fill, he put in 2cc's. I feel the restriction and am really having to remember that I can't eat that much. If I keep this feeling, I don' t think I'll need another fill for a while.
