Hey everyone,

Well I just wanted to update you guys about my First "Fill".  It took place 2 days ago and I am so excited.  I finally have "restriction" and that is wonderful.  Since surgery two months ago, I have been able to eat a little more than I should and now with this "fill" the problem is resolved.  I now have the tool that I need to resume weight loss.  The "fill" has made a huge difference in the amount of food that I am able to digest in one sitting which is the whole purpose of the Lap Band.  Now my trips to the gym should really pay off.  I am so happy. 

For those of you who have not completed this part of the Lap Band process yet, let me ease your mind.  The "fill" took about 5 minutes altogether and was pretty much painless.  I only experienced a minor ***** when my Doctor numbed my skin.  After that, I did not feel anything.  This Lap Band process is right on target for me since its adjustable and basically painless. 

I felt "restriction" right away as my Doctor wanted me to drink some water after the procedure and I could tell a huge difference.  I'll keep you guys posted on my progress.  I also would be interested in hearing other Lap Bandster's stories regarding their first "fill" and how much progress they were able to make after the procedure.  Hit me up when you get a chance....
 

take care,
Rob
