1st Lap Band Fill.....

[mlachata 1]

My first fill is coming up. What should I expect? Does it hurt?

Varies by person, i've never heard anyone complain of pain. Myself...its uncomfortable. I get a bit nauseous. I also get a lot of bruising and soreness over the next 3-4 days but at the time its not painful...just weird.

mine just feels like a little pinch, kind of like your finger pricked for blood sugar tests. every one is different.

well I just got my first about a hour ago I didnt eat before my appt. so I was starving when I got home so of course ate my first 2 bites to fast and wow I feel restriction again before my fill I could have ate the whole plate and felt nothing but the fill worked I am back to being careful with every bite I put my plate down because I was scared of a stick but I know I ate to big of bites and to fast so glad to feel something besides hubger, as far as the needle it was pretty painless for me on the first poke but because he had to take some out because Water was uncomforble the second poke I felt but no big deal so hope this helps you be at ease somewhat and know maybe eat before you go if u have a am appt.

I just had my first fill a few hours ago. It was a little uncomfortable when the nurse was pressing around on my stomach looking for the port. Mainly because my incision is still healing. After she found it there was just a needle prick and it was all over in about 30 seconds.

Afterwards I had to drink cup of Water. It went down OK so then I was free to go. I had a protien shake for lunch and feel OK. I can't really tell if there is restriction or not.
