You will be just fine. I am the biggest wimp when it comes to needles but I have to say the person who does my fills makes me feel very comfortable and at ease. Just breath and relax when the insert the (you know what)..

Take care and let us know how it went and how you are feeling. One thing to remember don't eat after the fill.

OK so heres the weird thing...I was given this card to carry to show that I have the band and to keep track of my fills, It says I have a 4 cc band, I asked the Dr. today what size my band was ans he told me it was a 10cc....

He put in 2 cc's and said everything looked great.....

so far I do not feel ay different, how long does it take before you can tell something was done???

Oh, by the way, I HATE that barrium stuff!! if that was all I was ever allowed to have I would be skinner than any movie star has ever been...haha

Christine - Every one is different, you might need a few fills before you feel it at all. On the other hand, you might fill it immediately or three weeks down the road. For me, it took 6 fills to notice much restriction at all. Hopefully you will feel yours right away!

      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.
