ckiki Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 I had it done with Dr. Acosta at the OCC, that is the first time I had met him. He is so nice and really cute. The needle didn't hurt going in or out, like it did last time, so that was good. Everything looked good, and he added 1.4 cc's, so I now have 4.4 cc's. The best news was I only had to be on liquids for 24 hrs. So I just ate 1 scrambled egg, and chewed the heck out of it, and it went down ok. I am kind of nervous about eating now, because basically the last few weeks I have been able to eat anything and have never got anything stuck. So we'll see how this goes. Oh, and I am down 37 lbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEC Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Wow 37 lbs in 3 months...your doing great! Why are you worried about not getting things stuck? I thought as long as you are able to control hunger that is what you want... One week post surgery for me and fill scheduled at OCC for 5/11....

ckiki Posted April 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 I'm worried about getting food stuck, it's never happened to me (knocks on wood) and yet I hear of it happening to everyone on here, and it's a horrible experience. So I just hope it doesn't happen now that I have a 2nd fill..lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JennHB Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 I am going in for my 2nd fill on Saturday (April 11th) on my first fill I got 2cc's and I can eat as much as I could after surgery. I hope this one is more effective. I still get shoulder pain when I eat too fast so I am hoping I will get more used to chewing slower and more thouroghly. I am still in training. ) I didnt realize some us us have different size bands, well those of us who went to OCC anyway. I wonder how they determine who gets what?

ckiki Posted April 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 I have the larger band, because I am tall and told I have a larger stomach. So far, everything is going good with this 2nd fill. Good luck to everyone who has upcoming fills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
