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!!

Wow u r so lucky I feel my port 24 / 7! It protrudes out of my belly I have to be careful not to bump my belly on my desk at work or I see stars! I'm 5 weeks post op and that has been my biggest issue is port site pain. Mine is on the right below my ribs. Good luck to u. My first fillis 6/23

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?

Let me know how your fill goes & I will keep you updated

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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
