Well, today was my first fill apt. I think it went very well. Although I was a little nervous about the huge needle, it only stung for a second. Then I could feel a weird movement around my port. Then it was done! Simple! I thought my band was empty at the time of sx, but I actually had 4cc already. So, he put the 4 back in plus another 1.5cc. SO, I have 5.5cc total. I can feel the tightness tonight. I couldn't drink all my Protein Shake, but got most of it down. Well, I need to get my little girl ready for bed.

Glad to hear your fill went so well. I was nervous the first time too. My doc. gives a local so I don't even feel that long needle. Hope your fill leads to that elusive restriction!

Yeah, I don't think I would even need a local. I only felt a little prick. I'm glad it went well. liquids seem to be going down good. Just getting full and can't finish a Protein Shake.< /p>

I had my first fill today too. It wasn't as bad as I thought. I did feel a little prick and that was it. I got 2cc and I go back in a month. Its going to be hard today just doing liquids again. Thank goodness its just 1 day.

I'm glad to hear it went well. I'm having my first fill in a couple of weeks and I'm already nervous about it.

It is nice to hear that it went well for you!:scared2:

My first fill is tomorrow. I am curious how your dr's office does it. My dr does first come first serve. Is this strange? Seemed it to me. My appointment time is 11am but they told me to get there early so I don't have to wait on line. HUH???

I had my first fill on Monday and it was surprisingly not bad. Although I do not think I have restriction. I get full, but able to still eat things I want, just not as much. I had 2ccs in after surgery and Doc added 2 more ccs. Will add exercise and see how this goes.

Good Luck to all!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
