six week check up today and first fill...

cindyn · October 24, 2006

I am kind of nervous about my first fill. Hope it does not hurt too much!

I know that feeling - I was really nervous before mine, and it was fine. Didn't hurt as much as getting a shot.

I have my second file today.

It shouldn't hurt. It is a long needle, but just a pin prick. It's not a big deal. Just don't eat before for 4 hours or stay on liquids. Most of the doctors require that and don't drink cold liquids right before. Good luck.

Please let us know how it went. I have my first fill in a couple of weeks and I'm nervous, too.

:help: :hungry: Hi everyone. I am being filled in a weeks time and I definitely need it! I had the operation for a lap band done 5 weeks ago and am now eating most things in ordinary quantities. I really need to get the fill to stop my weight going up.

Does anyone else find it difficult to drink as much as you need to without drinking at the meal and without eating it when you drink. My swallows just gone their head around it!! I have always drunk with a meal (naughty I know) and not in between. Not complaining, I know why - just wish I could do it with ease. Oh well I suppose practice makes perfect and school holidays do not help with the diet regime.

Thanks for listening to my groans and may I say what a fantastic site this is, even if I do not write on it that much. It is so helpful seeing how much you have all achieved and the advice that you give each other.

Keep up the good work all of us from all over the globe.

I , by the way, am in Surrey, UK. If anyone is near to me I would love to hear from you.
