elle 1 Posted February 26, 2008 Hi, I was banded on Jan 31. I am so happy. I already lost 17 lbs including the 2 weeks on liquid before the op. I am getting my first fill on Monday - only 4 1/2 weeks from surgery. I am nervous about it. Does it hurt? I am worried about feeling sick and food not going down. Do you choke? Can you drink then to help it. How much do they put in the fill? Should I ask them to go slow? Need some advice. Thanks for any info:scared2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

htay73il 0 Posted February 26, 2008 Hi, I was banded on 01/25/08, I had my first fill today just 4 weeks later. I had a seroma which is a pocket of Fluid over my port and they drained it and then gave me my fill. I was NO big deal, just a little stick and they ask you to drink just to make sure you aren't too restricted. Relax and all will be okay, I wasn't nervous at all. Good Luck!!!

Melodieus 0 Posted February 12, 2009 I was banded Jan15th and went to dr yesterday. He doesnt do fills until 6 weeks out but due to schedules I am getting my fill 7 weeks out. I have already lost 36 lbs but 20 is since the band. I am doing so good now... hungry but not that bad... really feeling great. I dont want to go get a fill and really start having problems. I know I gotta get one but dont know what to expect. Pain, what to eat, problems???? Any advice will be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!:biggrin: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
