I get my first fill Friday since my 9/15/2010 surgery. I feel like I started out with a slight fill. I'm going to ask them Friday when I come in for my first fill. I have already PBd and slimed a bit. Its helped me not overeat. I've stayed steady with my post surgery weight loss of 10 lbs. I hoping a little more fill will help me really manage my intake. But as you suggested I won't place to much pressure or hopes on the initial fill.
Did others PB and slime prior to their first fills? Just wondering.
Hope you will have a great Thursday.
I started with 2.5 ml in my band. My surgeon didn't tell me until I got my first fill.
ReplyDeleteI started with 1cc in my band which I also didn't know until my first fill.
ReplyDeleteI started with 3 cc in my band. I have PB'd or slimed but I have gotten kinda stuck on a few things.
ReplyDeleteHi Rachel! Thanks for your kind comments on my blog. To answer your question - I had about 5 fills before I PB'd or slimed. I was really not feeling any restriction until my band was at 10.5 cc's in my 11 cc band! DH on the other hand was restricted without any fills in the beginning. He PB's after about 3cc's in the band. Good Luck!

ReplyDeleteAfter the surgery we usually have restriction due to all the swelling which could be the reason you've already PB'd. Also the band itself causes some restriction even without fill. Some surgeons do "prime" the band by inserting some saline at the time of surgery. So your experience isn't that unusual. Good luck with you fill!
