| to newlapper, I was in TJ last week for fill. One patient in the lobby said to eat breakfast if you have an afternoon fill. She always gets better restriction if she has used her esophagus and poach a few hours prior to a fill. | |

City: Van Nuys State: California | This seems a bit harsh on the esophagus if you ask me. When we get a fill the stomach doesn't like it and neither does the esophagus. That is why you are supposed to be on liquids for 24 to 48 hours (depending on the surgeon) after a fill. You need to give your stomach and esophagus time to adjust to the assault of a fill.
I personally do not want to eat prior to a fill. I don't want any food to be in my pouch before I make it smaller. OUCH!! Talk about a PB!!
Just my humble opinion!

Just got back from my first fill in TJ and got 2.2cc and hope to now start seeing a difference. Dr. Martinez was wonderful and so patient with me. I drove that poor man nuts. Start solids tomorrow, wish me luck.

State: Illinois | I had my first fill yeasterday and I have a 10 cc band and I got 1 cc in my band. The doctor told me to only drink fluids for the first day. I keep throwing up. Do I need to wait a few days after my fill . Will it get better or should I go and get an up fill. I cant eat anything only drink. I did eat some cottages cheese and it did stay down but can I live on the my whole life. Please tell me how long I need to wait until my fill will feel better to me. | |

City: Frisco State: TX | I'm scheduled for my first fill on Thursday of this week (Dec 1) and I CAN'T WAIT. I've been banded for a month now and can eat anything and everything. I'm SO looking forward to my fill to start getting some restriction. Thankfully, I'm staying right where I am at 185, but know that if this keeps up, I'll be right back up again.

How did your fill go. I am at the same weight and do not have an appt until 1st week in Jan, had band Nov 22. I also do not have any problem with consumption, do not feel full. I am hovering at 187, and aren't budging. Checking on how the fill went and if you are doing well.

Debra - my fill was fine, however I don't feel like the restriction I have is the "sweet spot". I'm still able to eat WAY more than I should. I'm hovering around 84 right now and am kinda frustrated by it. I'm giving it another week to see if it restricts any more, then going back to fill up again.
I think for us "lesser" BMI girls, it's harder to see progress because our goal isn't so far away (although it seems that way). I'm trying to stay syched up.
