Question:
How much of a fill for the first time did you have?

Hi Jan, I don't know how much is in my band and therefore have no expectations of what my band should be doing. I must control my intake and eat at a snail pace, chew very well and pay attention to my body s to when I've had enough. I get the hiccups. If I'm hungry an hour later I'll have another little bit of something or just water. So far this has worked very well for me. I have read that others have done what I'm doing and have been successful as well. I've been banded since May of 08 and have lost 60 pounds. Hurray!

I had my first fill yesterday. I have a 10 cc band. The surgeon injected 3cc and then removed .2 because it was a little tight. So far, so good. My stomach felt a little tight/crampy (mild) this morning, but otherwise I feel great. I am noticing some restriction, and it feels like the right amount. Not too tight, not too loose.

My first fill was 2.4 cc's in a 10cc band. I'm going for another fill next week.
