Second fill..what a difference!

[barbie1978 22]

Ok so I had my second fill last wednesday (10/28) and what a difference! In two ways....1. this one hurt WAAAAAAY less...not at all actually. So i'm no longer nervous about getting a fill (i'm terrified of needles)...and 2. I can totally feel good restriction. Can't do bread, anything really dry, or steak anymore and that's FINE by me! :redface: I'm just so happy to FEEL differently.

Now just to work on my workouts...:cursing: They've definately not been what they should be....but that changed as of today!

What fill did you all feel a real difference?

whoo hoo! Good to know!

I go for my second fill this Monday. What capacity is your band, and how much did they fill it to this time?

Right now I'm not feeling too restricted, so I'm looking forward to having this one done.

My first fill didn't hurt at all. Didn't they numb you at all the first time? :redface:

I have a large 14cc AP band....my first fill was 5cc's and i felt a slight difference for about 2-3 weeks...then i could definately eat a good amount again...but this time, I can't eat bread (i didn't have a lot before but since the fill i've tried ONE piece and no deal), steak or anything too dry whereas it wasn't an issue before....i feel it sooner, i'm full longer, and that's the whole point! :cursing:

Yes, he did numb me, but he only gave me one shot of lidocane last time...this time i had two..i think also because i was still healing and tender last time, the lidocane only took the edge off. This time, NO PAIN AT ALL! WOOHOO! Plus it was a smaller needle and he didn't have to push down even close to as much as he did the first fill...yay for being smaller!

What's your band size?
