Lalaj, I have my first fill on Thursday. I'm excited but nervous. I think my port is on the right side around my lower rib area. I haven't felt around for it! I'll keep you posted and you keep me posted after your fill. You're already doing Fantastic!!

Lalaj I have my first fill on the 26th June & cannot wait! I have no restriction anymore as the swelling from surgery has gone down! Do you know how many mls are in your band just now? I have 1ml in a 10ml band!

How is everyone else getting on?

Had my first fill last Thursday. It did not hurt but I was stressed out until it was over. Now I'll know what to expect. They didn't put much in, 1 ml I think. So far so good. I hope you are all doing great! Can't wait to figure out how this fill works out. Still mind over matter for me.

I have my first fill (I hope!) on June 26 as well. I was banded May 21 so it's 5 weeks and one day. That seems to be a common time for the first fill. After reading some of these posts I know pretty much what to expect. Does the doc charge for a fill? I have Federal Blue Cross. Good luck everyone!

Good luck to all of you having your first fill this week!

And don't worry, it's a piece of cake. I never even feel it at all. My only piece of advice is to take a big gulp of Water before leaving the office, not just a little sip. This way, if by chance you're too tight, you'll start gurgling up Water so you can have some of the Fluid removed right way. It will save you a lot of time and hassle.

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
