Week 10 Post Op Lap Band Surgery (6/1/09) My 1st Fill & More

10 weeks post op from my lapband surgery. Had my first fill at 9.5 weeks. 3cc's in my band on the 1st fill. New fruity water drink. Giving my friend Eric from Ohio a shout out! Explain what a "fill" is to the non lapband/WLS viewer.

Start Weight @ 1 week Pre Op = 244
Current Weight @ 10 weeks Post Op 214
Next Scale Goal = Onderland

Happy, Healthy, Loosing lbs. and Moving Onward . . .

Hay Wendy, congrats on 30 pounds in 10 weeks. Your doing great!! They do things very different w/ all fill adjustments I see. They do yours standing up and they do mines laying down, I have to stay on a 2 day liquid diet and then continue with soft foods for 2 days and you have to stay on a 2 week liquid diet (which is krazy) LOL. Im glad you got restriction on your 1st fill. I had 3 cc's put in on surgery day. I guess its different for everyone. Great video.

thanks! I will be in NYC from June 27 - 30. If you are free one night (it seems like you live out of the city) and want to hook up for cocktails or exercise I would be up for it. just a thought. If not, we'll keep supporting each other here in this space. have a good one. P.S. Krazy is an understatement!

I noticed that you said that you were 9 or 10 wks post op before your 1st fill. I am just under 4 wks post op and have lost 7 lbs since surgery and I am down a total of 25 lbs since the 13th of April. I am not able to do any cardio exercises due to a foot injury. I am supposed to get a fill but I don't see the point yet if I am averaging about 2.5 lbs a week. Stressing on if I should tell my Dr I want to wait. Any advise?
