Hi, I was banded on 6/30/09 and I have lost 24lbs and had my 3rd fill today. Just wondering how many fills everyone had and how much weight everyone lost that was banded around the same time. Thanks!

I was banded 6/18. I've had two fills (second one was yesterday) for a total of 7ccs in my band. I'm on liquids right now, so I don't know if I'll have any restriction but I'm really hoping for some. I've lost about 50 pounds so far since my preop diet in the beginning of June.

The last two days I have been having a hard time at most of my meals. Maybe its what they call the "sweet spot", I can only eat a few bites and I am full and I feel like I still want to eat so I take another bite and have been throwing up quite a bit. I am not sure if I am not eating slow enough, taking a bite too many or what. I went out to lunch today with my sister and I got a cup of soup and 1/2 tuna on wheat sandwhich, I had 3 teaspoons of the soup, 2 bites of the sandwhich and I felt like I wanted to puke. I will have to see if this keeps up or what. Last night same thing wtih my dinner but I did eat lunch OK yesterday.

I was banded 6/30. Lost 21 lbs. No fills yet. Too scared. My doc is in Mexico and havent found a Doc here in Austin yet. I am messing up pretty bad tho. I dont want to start whining, but I drink 1/2 soda a day and am eating meals I shouldnt. No fast food, just non healthy food. My husband likes me the way I am, but I dont. He seems to be more greedy with the money now and knows what a fill costs. So I think I need to stash it behind his back and get one without him knowing. LOL.

MistyLP, fills are not bad at all! It only takes a few minutes and that includes raising your shirt, getting the fill, putting your shirt back down, answering some questions and swallowing some water to make you everything goes down ok. As far as your husband not giving you the money, I dont think that would be acceptable for me. I am sure that he doesnt just like you the way that you are but he also loves you. However, this surgery was about you and no one else. If I were you if I had to stash it, have a yard sale, of find some kind of work to do for a day or two....I would get it! Now that I had my rant I was banded on 7-1-09 and the last time that I weighed I had lost 25 pounds. I will weigh again in the morning and hope I have lost more. Good luck on your journey!

Hi I was banded June 27, had my second fill last week. Ooh it's tight now! So far I have lost 51 lbs
