Okay September Bandsters,

When are you all going in for your first fill?

I don't know when mine is yet, but I am sure I will find out tomorrow and can't wait!!!

So who has dates and when are you going in!!!

Yeah to first fill!!!!

:mad2:

I have got mine! October 12th.

As I live a long way away from the hospital, I am having my first fill under X ray so as to try and get into the sweet zone with as few goes as possible.

Oh wow that is AWESOME, the nurse at the office I used was the 2nd person to get the lap band done with the surgeon and because of that she calls herself a guinea pig because her first fill was done like that so she hit her sweet spot right away. Need an adjustment later in the year with the weight loss as it got a little lose.

Pray that you hit that sweet zone right away.

I got my date today. Oct 7th :tt1: YEAH!!! Only 3 weeks to go. I was surprised when he said to come back in about 3 weeks, usually they push for 4.

Can't wait just around the corner now...feel like I am in the home stretch!

Hello Ladies, I have my first fill set for Oct. 15th.. I can't wait.. I'm using allot of self control.. I feel my stomach growl and I try to convince myself it's Gas..lol I have no trouble eating a cup of mushies.. I'm trying to limit myself to one mushie meal and two shakes.

I had my follow-up check up today and can get my fill as early as next week, but since my surgeon is not in next week and I do not like to go to the assistant, I will have my first fill on October, 6th. :bored: :smile2:

I have my first fill on 10/14, my surgery date was 09/11. My fill will be under xray. Friday I start on regular food and this weekend should be feeling better to start exercising again. Good luck to all.

My first fill is 10/14. I can't wait because I have no trouble going past a cup. I get 800 to 1000 calories in. Mostly protein. I haven't been doing veggies at all.

Mine is Sept. 30! Next week.

Can't wait, I am hungry and not feeling as satisfied after meals. Plus I can eat WAY more than I need to! I live far from the surgeon's office, so I have to fly in. I really hope this gets me close to where I need to be!

I don't know when mine is yet. I have to go to a nutrition class first. My dr said that my stomach was very fatty, so it might be a while before I feel like I need a fill. I feel very restricted right now.

Hey Bbelle, my first fill is same date as yours-10/12/09. Let's try to keep in touch. I hate needles (really who doesn't). I'm trying not to get too worked up. I haven't tried, but I bet I could eat just about anything I wanted right now.

My first fill date will be Nov 2... which is 6 and a half weeks after my surgery... feels like forever away, but I can do it!

yea me too I was just asking the nutritionist this. I said there is NO way I can eat only a half a cup and even at a cup i'm eating every 3-4 hours. She said the main aim is to stay w/ puree in order for the stomach to heal. Can go to 1 cup (of course now I prob need to write and say I am at past a cup). Seriously maybe I am not eating enough during the day and I skip Breakfast but when i was walking home it felt like i was getting the low blood sugar shakes. I added the metformin back in (when i test blood sugar it is normal though).

I was banded on the 17th and have to wait the 6 weeks for filling. Guessing that it will be last week in oct...cannot wait yay!!

First fill day after tomorrow! Counting down the hours. I can't wait to start losing again!

good luck let us know how it goes tomorrow? Will you be doing liquids after? I can't wait to lose too!

I was banded Sept 9th and my first fill is on Oct 14th (I think), I had 3 cc's put in during surgery, and think I may have some tiny restriction, but I am VERY EXCITED for my first fill, I have already been told they would be putting in 1 cc.
