3mths and finally I have a Fill!!

Thread Starter  

wohooo!!! finally went and had my 3 mth check up and they finally gave me a fill, easy peasy, the doc had just slight prob with port cause it moved but he got it the second time no problemo. He put in 3.5 milliters, which is 3.5 CC's (i checked the conversion LOL) I have a Large 14 band, its a big fill for my first time but i seem to be having no problemo's. The doc did comment though that he thought my bad was to big?? Well heck not like i got to pick it out LOL!! So happy to have a fill, can't wait till tomorrow to try it out and see how i really feel. Tonight is just liquids tomorrow i eat regualrly.

Congrats on making such great progress despite going so long without a fill - and with a larger band too!

First fill 8/15/08: 1.8 CC in a 4 CC band
Second fill: only .8 left in band??; after a fill and then a couple unfills due to tightness, now only have 1 measurable cc in my band, but have decent restriction. Strange...

hi x i'm 8 weeks post-op on friday and i'm having my 1st fill on that day too !! i'm hoping she'll put a decent amout in and i'll be able to tell the difference - although i do realise it will probably take a few goes to get it right

Hello, I go for my first fill Oct 3rd and Tuesday was 7 weeks since my band. Can I ask this question? I feel like I am hungry more then I was even last week. I eating a little more then I should, did anyone do this before fill. I am trying hard to control my feeling to want to eat more then I should. My doctor is on vacation and I would have been filled this week, but I have to wait until next week. I am dying here I just want the restriction so I don't feel this way. I went to a cousins dinner Saturday night and I just have been eating more then I normally do....only 1 cup 1/2 with each meal and a snack...mostly veggies and chicken, meat but I have had tastes of pie, brownie etc and I don't eat that stuff. Has anyone else eaten, cheated before first fill? Do you feel better after the fill?
