My first full is 11/28, and I'm scared and nervous. What can I expect? Will it hurt, how much pain will I be in? How many cc's will I get??? I'm so nervous right now, will I be able to eat what I'm eating now???

Girl.. My 1st fill is the same day as yours.. so I too would like to know what to expect. I have no fill in my band at the moment.. so I have been able to eat anything with no problems, ( although I stick to the healthy stuff of course!! ) :)

Calm down. First you really should not feel a thing. I got a bit of freezing and as it was the first fill she had to feel around to find my port - with her fingers - I think she did a few pokes before she found it, but it didn't hurt. She also noted the spot on my chart and for my second fill she got it with the first poke.

I am not sure about your office, but mine only puts 1cc in at a time, she puts it in, leaves the syringe in and makes me sit up and gulp a little cup of Water, if it goes down okay, she takes the needle out. I guess she keeps it in in case the band is too tight and she needs to take some out so she doesn't have to poke again.

i have had 2 fills and can eat everything I was eating before. I am not at restriction so have to eat smart like the banded person I am.

Honest, no pain, don't worry about it, you will be fine.

Thank you!!!! I'm still a little nervous. I have a job fair scheduled to go attend later in the afternoon. Will I be ok to walk around for maybe 30-45 minutes? Or will I be uncomfortable, or just go home and relax for awhile. Does the band size determine how much your full will be??? I love this site, it feels like no matter the question someone is always there and I love and appreciate that!!!!

I had my first fill 11/5. It was as un eventful as getting your blood drawn. Really! I went in, they filled, and i left!

Does your dr numb the area first? You should ask before you go. Either way you will be surprised at how smooth it goes!
