Hope it was as easy as most. Fills are not a big deal. I worried so much about my first one, now I look forward to then. I think now though I am getting close to restriction. This last fill (4th) I felt a big diffence in how I felt and how it felt to eat.

I had my first fill 2 days ago and I would describe it as totally uneventful! I literally couldn't even feel the needle going in since I still have no sensation in that area because of the incisions. (I had my lap band 4 weeks ago). I hope it goes well but I just wanted to share my experience since it was really, really no big deal. The nurse literally just did the injection and I got up and left. I feel great now and had no side effects. Best wishes for an easy fill!

Was your first fill done in the doctor's office or in radiology? I am nervous because my doctor stated my port was deep and had to be done in radiology.

Mine was done in my doctors office by the nurse practitioner. (NYU hospital in NYC which is a bariatric center of excellence -so I feel confident about the practice)

      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.
