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>

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!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
