You shouldnt feel anything but pressure and maybe you might and I said might feel the band tightening around your stomach. Afterwards you shouldnt really feel anything but stay on the liquids like they tell you too and make sure you can drink Water before you leave that office

I had my first fill this morning. I had a bundle of nerves going in, but they were pointless! I never found a step-by step explaniation of the process, so here is mine.

I had to lay down on the table first, so they could make sure they found the port, then they stuck the needle in. I felt the stick (some say the docs use lidocaine, but mine did not) and he 'overfilled' the band. Then I had to sit up and chug (dr's term) room temp Water. Each time I swallowed he asked if I could feel the Water and when I could, he would let out some of the fill. This allowed the water to go down. I continued to drink until it felt comfortable. After that, I laid back down, he removed the needle and I went on my merry way.

That was at 9:30. It's now 2:00 and I'm a little hungry, but I also only had a slim-fast since then. It's almost snack time! He did say to stay on liquids for 2 days to make sure the band isn't too tight.

I hope this helps! I think the reason I had nerves was because I didn't know step by step what would happen.
