What is a fill???

OK I hear the lap band people talk about fills - what is a fill? Just curious.. Thanks all - Jeremy

Oh, it's a lap-band thing When we get our bands inflated, it's called a "fill" - that is, we get our bands filled up with saline via the port, and it gives us restriction so we lose weight They are very important to us bandsters! If you aren't losing 1-2 pounds/week with minimal or no hunger, and are following 'the rules' then chances are you need a fill. Most docs give you your first fill 4-6 weeks after surgery, and then you get one each month until you hit your 'sweet spot' (losing 1-2lbs/week, not hungry) - most people take about 3 fills to get there.

Hmm double entendres all over this post ;)

What the heck is a double entendre???

In this case I think it's a boy thing. What is a fill? Hmmm. Is it like copping a fill ? Nah, that can't be right-- it's what Jen said. Final answer.

A double entendre is a figure of speech similar to the pun, in which a spoken phrase can be understood in either of two ways. The first, literal meaning is an innocent one, while the second meaning is often risqué and requires the hearer to have some additional knowledge. Although a French term, the French generally say double entente or double sens for such phrases. *Wikipedia.org*
