Now this blog was enjoyable to read. I am going for my first fill on Thursday and you make it sound like a breeze. Some of these stories the others say make me scared but I liked your blog. Thank you, Judy

I know I was so scared when I went in for my fist fill. However, I found out that I didn't even "feel" it. I laughed as it went so smoothly. Glad you went great for you too!

Ditto - just a small prick and a few seconds later it's done. I get my 3rd fill tomorrow (2.5 cc in band right now)...How are you guys doing with the weight loss? I was banded on Nov 19th and I'm not losing very quickly...Up & down and not sure why since my portions are so much smaller from before getting the band...I thought by now it would be falling off.

I was wondering what a "fill" would feel like? I suppose it won't be until at least a month post op? I am only 1 wk. post op now.

<P>Me too Rosey.....just 8 days since the operation....but my stomach and port are hurtin big time and it is excruciating if I roll anywhere near my stomach in my sleep. But I am Happy and Excited about this Journey~~~<IMG class=bbc_emoticon alt= src="http://www.lapbandtalk.com/public/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif"> </P>
