First Fill

[melpink1818 0]

Had my first fill today. After 6 weeks from surgery date. I have a 10cc band and he filled it to a 5.2cc. I was surprised that he put that much in it but....OK! I found the fill not painful but unconfortable. When he put the needle in and filled it felt like someone stepping on my chest. The most painful thing was the needle for the numbing medication. I have lost 22 lbs so far and hope this fill helps me loose alot more. I feel alot of restriction so having to adjust to the amount of food I am taking in.

Each fill seems like a learning experience to me. That was quite a fill, remember, small, slow, well chewed bites! Good Luck

yes I am actually relizing what it fills like when food does not go down....lol I am learining real fast to cut my food up and knowing what I can and cant have. Platau has lifted and the weight is coming off again, so happy!

I was looking for answers on how bad the first fill feels. I have mine in 6 days and am getting nervous!!

Beccaboolane - I had my first fill last week and it was no worse than the needle when having blood drawn for tests. Good luck.
