I dont know what to expect. I am drinking grape juice right now. Do I supposed to go on liquids for 2 days until I feel restricted. Is it going to hurt?

I've had two fills...my dr. just aims and shoots! LOL! They don't deaden the area or anything, and it only feels like a regular injection going in...except you don't feel anything after the needle enters the port, because, of course, the port has no nerve endings. I was nervous, too, but there was no reason to be. I handle these things pretty well in general, some people are more squeamish, so I guess it depends. All fills are done with flouro in this office, and that makes a difference, too. Good luck! Cindy

I've had two so far. It feels like a needle. Not as bad as the pain after the surgery. Also, it is over in a few minutes, and then the lbs start coming off Good luck.

Well I just had my first fill Dr. said I had a 11 cc band and he put in 3 cc.

I thought it was a lot, it did not hurt at all though. I do not know what to think though

it feels like the Fluid is having trouble going down. I have a constant full feeling today.
