I haven't had one but my surgeon said some of his patients are more scared of the fill than they were for the surgery.

But my wife has had several, she said they are a piece of cake.

I have my first fill next week and know how you feel! It's a mix of excitement and nervousness, for me. I'm excited because it's the first big step since my surgery toward being satisfied but I'm also nervous about how it's going to feel, how I'm going to feel afterward, and if any of my food tolerance levels will change.. But, we can do this!!

Hi. Had first fill two days ago and it was easy! I was more nervous about the fill then I was about the surgery. I can honestly say the only thing I felt was the pressure from the RN palpating the area of my port to find it. It was over before I knew it and I was on my way. You will do great!!:)

      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.
