Hello Everyone,

 

I am getting my first fill tomorrow, and of course I'm nervous...Can you please tell me your first experience, does it hurt? Does it feel weird? :smile:

Everybody is different, but I really didn't feel a thing. I mentally prepared myself for some pain and discomfort and I didn't have any. My fill amounts are pretty agressive. I had 4.0 in the band at surgery, and they put 2.0 in the first fill. The PA had no problem finding my port, drew out the liquid that was in, added 2.0 ccs and then put it back. I didn't feel it at all. I had to drink a small cup of water in tiny sips after the fill, and I stuck to liquids for 2 days and then smushies for another couple days. I had my second fill about 4 weeks later (another 1.25 ccs) with the same experience. This was about 3 months ago and haven't had any fills since.

I felt nothing more than I have getting blood drawn. You'll do great! Keep us updated..........
