fingers crossed for you! i'm going in for my two week check up tomorrow! i'm really excited...i'm not sure why!!! anywho...please update us on your fill...

You may be surprised on how you fill. I have only had 3 fills in the past 14 months. I did excellent after my first fill and it lasted for 6 months before I needed another fill. My surgeon added 5 cc's the first time but everyone is different, mine did it under fluro and made me drink that wonderful chalking stuff and watched it go through the band. I felt immediate restriction and it was kinda scary for me. I thought I had some restriction just from having the band but after my fill I realized how much I really had to chew my food. My second fill did not go as well, but this third fill I think has been the best and I wish I had done it sooner. I actually do not get hungry between meals. Good luck and I know you will do fine, and just remember if the fill doesn't take you to the green zone go back and get a little more.

How did it go? I get my first fill on Monday. My doctor does not use any numbing agents, so I am very anxious. I'm needle phobic, so that definitely doesn't help. Can you guys tell me what to expect? I've been watching video's, but I want to hear it from someone directly.

I was banded January 31st. Surgery was truly a piece of cake, well, maybe that's not a good reference, but you get the point. It was the easiest surgery I have ever had. I don't feel ANY restriction and can eat anything I want - which I hate!! I am so ready for a fill so I actually believe I am truly banded! LOL
