Congratulations Jessie. I have had two fills (banded 13 April) and both have been a very minor needle prick. Surgeon said it could be worse if he had to poke around for my port but so far so good - third fill on Friday morning.

I have only had one fill, 5 days ago. Dr had to poke around (3 times) to get the right angle. I thought it was very uncomfortable but didn't make me cry. I am kind of a wimp but I survived. I was told that the rest of my fills will be better because there will not be any inflammation. If a wimp can do it, you can, too!! Good luck and congrats!

I had first fill yesterday, was my 6mo appt. No pain, tiny needle that I almost could not feel. No problem accessing my port at all. Today I have a cramp like pain at my band, but not real uncomfortable. Hopefully that is just my stomach complaining.

I have had two fills. The second being yesterday. I was a little sore but they inject numbing medicine before injecting the other needle. I think I was sore from moving around and picking up my 2 year old...he is about 30lbs and pure muscle...LOL. Don't worry, it is no big deal!

      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?

      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.
