First Fill Finally Today!



Recommended Posts

Just had my first fill. That was not bad AT ALL. I was scared. I wasn't numbed or anything and it was simple. He put in 2.5 cc and after drinking Water I can feel it, but not bad. He said he would be a little aggressive for the first one, but if in the morning, I am too tight we need to take some out.

I have lost 15 pounds since I started by band journey, so I guess I am not a complete failure even though i've eaten like I wanted for about 8 months.

@Kellysue: im confused... why did your first fill happen eight months later. That seems like a very long time! Heck, in that much time ive been known to gain 50 pounds. (Of course, I hope never to do "that" again post op). Still eight months of will power... yikes! :)

A lot of it was my schedule and the fill clinic. There is only one place to get it here so I had to go off his schedule and it was just difficult.

I wouldn't say I had will power though ;)

Congrats on your first fill! I go in for my first on the 17th, it will be 4 weeks post op... I am nervous as well, my Dr. does 5cc the first time and then 1cc every two weeks till green zone is found... but I am nervous! I am glad to hear that it wasn't too bad for you... good luck and keep us posted how you do!
