First Fill... Wasn't Bad At All

I had my first fill yesterday. I was banded on 6/5 and yesterday my doctor added 5cc's to my 11cc band. I'm excited to start feeling some more restriction. Surely the 5cc's will help?

My next fill isn't until September, until then I plan to start working out! Ready to get the scale moving lower and lower.

The fill itself didn't hurt, some discomfort but I will say that my doctor is awesome, pricked me once, did what he needed to do and I was outta there.

I'm getting my first fill today. My doc does it under X-ray, but I don't think it's much different.

Ugh! Hit send by accident... Anyhow glad everything was good for you. How long are you on liquids? Mine is 24-48 hours as tolerated then mushies, etc... I think I'm more anxious about the liquid diet than the needle.

My doc actually just had me lay down and sit up like I was doing a crunch and then he felt for it. Liquids for two days for me, I was kinda sad about that when he first told me but I had some Soup yesterday and it wasn't too bad. Today I'm going to have some Greek yogurt.

i had mine last week, my doc said 24-48 hours but I ended up having to do 5 days for my body. I got really bad stomact pains the one night I tried to eat. Good luck my weight loss started back up after the fill forsure.
