Good luck to you!! You'll do fine. Getting a fill doesn't hurt..

Follow your doctor's orders after your fill. Liquids... then mushies again.. you know the drill..

I'm all done. Took about 5 minutes and not much pain (just a pinch). I definately feel restrictionnow (6CC of 10CC band). I used to be able to gulp Water, now sipping even causes some minor discomfort. Doc said this would go away in a few days. 2 days liquid diet, then back to mushies for 2 days :tongue2:.

Well it went well, didn't hurt at all, although I was numbed, I now have 5 cc's in a 10 cc band, and I'm scared to drink anything.

Hi all - I'm back from my first fill also and that was easy peezy! Definitely feel tighter. Drinking Water is a challenge - I am definitely sipping slowly. I'm also on liquids for two days then mushies. He only put in 2.4 ccs. He tried to put in a little more but it was definitely way too tight - I could feel that barium sitting in my throat. yuck! So, I think I'm about at the right fill now. Hopefully the weight will start flying off! :tongue2: A girl can dream, right?!

Thank you all for coming back to post!! Yeah... you are all on your way. I see my doc tomorrow. Had my first fill last week.. but only 1cc... haven't lost anything in two weeks (very frustrating). Glad it all went well for you.

I'm not gonna lie, I finally drank some Water and it had no problems going down. I feel like I'm starving. I had a popsicle and some broth and that kept me at bay for a few hours, but here I am again, tummy growling up a storm. Not sure what else to try, I'm def not going off the docts orders, but man, some mashed potatoes sound amazing.

I had my first fill on 6/1 and it took me 3 days to be able to handle food! I thought I was going to lose my mind! Good luck, listen to your body, and you will all be great!

I just had my first fill today. I now have 4.75cc(?) saline in my band. The fill didn't hurt at all, really. I wasn't numbed and only felt the small prick of the needle. It was weird to feel a sudden tightening once the saline went in.

Anyways, I had some gas at first when I was drinking some Water, but just had some watered down cream of chicken Soup with no problems. Not feeling very hungry at all which is a good thing.

Anyways, so far so good. Hope everything works out for everyone! :tongue2:
