First Fill

Yesterday was my first fill. I'm so excited. I did really well at first, but as the swelling went down after surgergy I could eat more and started gaining a little. I did manage to loose 3 lbs from my 2 week she up to my appointment yesterday. So far I'm down 17 lbs!! I think it will start coming off quicker know that I am tight again at least I hope so. By my scales I was down 20lbs either one is fine with me as long as the scale is going down. Hopefully this time next year I will be at my goal weight. Actually I hope it is sooner than that, but realistically I'm giving myself a year. If I would excersie more it would help alot. I'm going to have to soon. I don't want lots of saggy skin. Do any of you go to the lap band support group meetings in LR?

Hey Chell, Watch out for that fill to tighten back up in a few days. It does happen to some of us. Congrats on your loss so far. Do you come onto the lapband board or just hang out here? Do try and get some form of exercise in daily. Just a walk if nothing else. Trisha

I'm glad you are down 17. I hope the fill helps and you get to losing. Keep us posted.

Hi Chell, Congrats on your weightloss!! That's great! It's so great to hear from other bandsters in the Arkansas forum. It sounds like you were ready for that fill. Good luck with that. :D I was banded in Mexico on May 17, and I'm down 17.5 lbs as of this morning. I'm going in for my first fill on July 12. I'm ready for this fill as I am eating too much food.
