Nope No Pain. Just a little needle prick to go threw the Fat into the Port.

Depending on what you get in a Fill will make the decision on what you can have.

Being this is the First time You will stay on fluids for a couple of days, then go to mushies.

Anytime that your Band is adjusted, you always go on liquids.

I had my first fill a few weeks ago and it was a little painful and quite uncomfortable (for me) I found the numbing needle both burned and stung but that was the worst of it...the whole process took 5 mins. I was on liquids for 2 full days and back on mushies for day 3 and regular foods on day 4...Everyone is different in the process but you will be fine, good luck to you!

The first time they usually do the fill with the x-ray. all the ones after that should be done in the office. I usually have to return to the liquids for 12 to 24 hours and 2 days of mushies and then back to regular food. Good Luck

In and out in about 10 minutes ask for fluro if they have it. Every fill I have ever got is under fluro one before one after then you leave knowing band is in place everything good, still in and out in 10 minutes unless you have questions for Surgeon.
