6 months later
Lap Band on Oct. 23, 2008
6 weeks after my surgery I had my first fill - didn't notice any difference
A month later had a second fill - didn't notice any difference
A month later had a third fill - didn't notice to much of a difference, only once I felt uncomfortable.
The weight was coming off, little by little. And I was happy with any weight coming off.
Then came the 4th fill - (a total of 5cc in the band) and holy moly! I feel it now!!!! I have to eat incredible slow, and chew my food until there is not much to swallow. It's a lot harder now. Things are constantly uncomfortable, but this is what it's all about.
I have a scheduled follow-up appointment in 2 weeks and I am sure there will be a difference in weight loss. I am down 2 pants sizes, it's happening and I am so excited!!!
The outcome - 6 months and 40 pounds! Yippee!!!!
