Going for my first fill



Recommended Posts

I was scheduled for Friday morning but I am attending a post op class tonight, so they will work me in before the class.

Have fun- fills aren't bad. However, I did pass out during my first one. I had a vasovagal response. Basically they push the Fluid in to fast and it irritated the vagus nerve and down I went. They have to push the fluid slower now.

1 cc in 10 cc band, and I can definitely feel it. liquids tonight, mushies tomorrow, and then back to solid food. Found out tonight that fills are on a two week schedule, so back on the 19th for the next.

Wow every two weeks!! My doctor does fills once a month. Is your doctor doing fills with or without floro?

Actually I will probably only see the Dr. if I have a problem, other than that his lap band nurse does my fills (no floro) and directs my program. Their goal is to get me to restriction as quickly as possible, I was really pleased to find out the schedule.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
