I have scheduled my first fill for Aug 22nd. I am very excited for the next step in the lapband process. I have been lossing weight but it has been kind of slow. I still can eat a good amount but no where near what I ate pre surg and not as often. Any suggestions or tips or just what I might experience with my first fill?

I live in Portland and starting to research my options for my first fill....where did you go and were you happy with it?

Banded on October 17th, still slowly loosing weight....hating the liquid diet, can't wait to eat again. Strangely enough, as I watch my co-workers eat pizza, burgers and fries....what I am really looking forward to is a salad loaded with yummy fresh veggies Can't wait to reach my goal, my husband says that by next summer I should have lost enough weight to buy all new summer clothes....wow, I am so excited!!! (He was banded in Feb 2008 and has lost about 70lbs and feels great!)

Something I remember either reading or one of the doctors saying something like ...After the surgery, you will not be physically hungry, but you will still have emotional hunger....isn't that the truth! The worst is watching TV at night, I find myself having the urge to snack, but then I realize that I am not even hungry - its just habit.

Anyways - Good luck everybody
