First Fill Today

Today I am 29 days post op and went for my first fill. At first I was not sure what to expect. I saw the needles, saline bottle, bandaids, alcohol prep pads on the counter. When the doctor came in he made me lie down and do a small crunch. He then inserted the needle. It was totally painless!! I just felt the tiny pinch of the needle and that was it. I did not receive any anesthetic before the injection and I definately did not need any. I feel so at peace knowing that the only negative thing about getting a fill is the hour drive it takes me to get to the doctor's office. It only took about 5-10 minutes with the doctor before I could leave.

Oh, I got 4 cc's added to my band. I got full on eating a half cup of soup. Doc said I have to be on liquids for the rest of today and tomorrow and then soft foods on Thursday.

I still get nervous when introducing new foods but so far I haven't had any problems eating any new foods. I don't know if that makes a difference.

I second that thanks! I was given a pass on the first fill so I am looking at it being on the 30th. I was very nervous at what to expect but it helps so much when people post their experiences - thanks!
