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'm glad they tell us the fills I would want to know I don't obsess but I want to know how my body handles certain things. I'm going on Friday and I don't care whether i get a fill or not I just want to check in w/ my surgeon because I've been seeing the NP's and i haven't seen her since the surgery. I had to run over there Friday cuz i felt a small lump that i never felt before (not my port) - they checked it out - they think its fatty tissue (size of pea) - and then I was asking about traveling and what to expect in the air... so one of the NP's goes to me you want a fill today - i said no way - I'm not even dealing w/ this one 100 pct.... plus i'll be back here friday right after my trip. So I can always get a date to go there w/ an NP but to see the surgeons we need to plan. So I booked appts a month apart. I'm losing somewhere between 1-2 lb s a week. I'm up and down 2 lbs a lot so w/ that noise its hard to tell week to week.

Hey there - I thought I would share my recent fill experience. I went from 4 ccs to 6ccs at my second fill last week, and the difference has been dramatic. I am not hungry AT ALL, and am eating way less. I did have some near-PB incidents with Pasta and crackers, and tonight I ate about 1/3 of a burger (no bun) before I felt too much chest discomfort and had to stop. But no problem eating Protein bars, and I eat veggie sausage with no problem either. So not sure what is going to work/not work.

I am thrilled to be free of that hunger and obsession with food! I just hope this lasts!

I am so glad I read you post! Now I have hope for my second fill next month! I have been struggling with hunger and feeling full.

Hey Lou - Keep the faith, it will happen for you too with more fill!

Hey have you visited the blog called "The Dash"? Check it out, a wonderful woman from Australia blogs here. The Dash: Take one know-it-all and one who thinks she knows-it-all and what do you get?

also stop by my blog (see below).

Best of luck to you!

I had my first fill yesterday! The nurse put in 3 cc's in my AP Standard 10cc band. I'm still on liquids but I don't think I have any restriction. I'm hungry but not giving in! I go back in 2 weeks for another fill.

BTW, I'm sorry I haven't been around more to support everyone. Unbelievably I found out I was pregnant but have since miscarried. Apparently I conceived the night before my LAP-BAND® surgery. I was shocked beyond belief as my one and only child was a result of IVF! So, when the LAP-BAND® doctors tell you to be careful if you don't want any more children,they aren't kidding! All we can think is that the weight I lost on the pre-op diet somehow allowed me to conceive, when all those years of trying failed.

I am so sorry for your loss! Maybe now that you are losing even more weight, your pregnancy chances will continue to increase. :thumbup:
