Lap Band on 03/22/12

I got my first fill and let me tell you it wasn't what I expected.. I was thinking OMG this is going to hurt but nope it was a breeze.. I was in and out in 10 mins.. I've lost a total of 47lbs, I'm so excited.. My surgeon had me on complete liquids until my fill and let me tell you I was so excited to finally eat solids again.. So far so good! I have taken all the advice everyone has given me and I eat slow and chew my food to the texture of apple sauce and I haven't had pain and I haven't thrown up.. I eat a few bites and wait 10mins to see if I'm full, if not I eat some more.. I don't want to over eat!

PS.. The last time I posted about my lap band I got a lot of negative comments.. If your going to comment then be positive ..

Congrats! I got my 2nd fill this week. The dr. couldn't get the fluid out and I had to partial stand then he kept the needle in while I drank water. Luckily he numbed it and it didn't hurt, just kinda freaky.

congrats. had my second fill yesterday. 9cc total now in a 11cc band. So far so good. Was told to drink something warm in the morning before I eat. This will relax the band as mine seems to be tight in the morning.

Heaviest wt. 235- surgery wt-203

(Fallen trying to get back on) Current wt= 215.

Congratulations ladies! I opted out on my second fill as I am still doing well with my eating and losing. Glad everything is going well for us newbies!

It sounds like you're doing great and proceeding cautiously. Were you on liquids for the whole 6 weeks?? That's quite a bit longer than usual!

Banded 03/22/06 276/261/184 (highest/surgery/lowest)

Sleeved 07/11/2013 228/165 (surgery/current) (111lbs lost)

That first fill is always a little anxiety producing and then once you get it, you think...what was I worrying about?

Sound like you're doing great! keep up the good work :)

Sure, what do you want to know? Some people failed at the lapband and were being negative on one of my posts that I will regret having the surgery! I'm happy with it so far because I've lost 50lbs..
