Well all doctors do it differently. My doctor has me lay back, they give me a shot of local anestatic and then after that they do the fill. I feel nothing and I am a major needle phobe.

They probably won't fill you very much so you probably won't have much restriction although you will feel fuller a little faster.

You may or may not even get a fill. More than one person has posted that their doctor said their weight loss exceeded the average and that as long as they are losing they do not need a fill. But your weight loss is fantastic!!! Congratulations!

im not that hungry anymore, and had my 1st fill done on the 3/31. I don't feel any difference, and i still can eat 3-4oz of food. I thought i would be able to handle the needle for the fill bc i used to give myself insulin shots but the needle is bigger and it hurt like heck. But the doctor said it was still a little tender and it will get better as time passes. Oh, and i dropped another 5lbs.

I eat more than 3-4oz of foods, my meat is between 4 - 5oz on its own, then i will have dessert spoon of mashed potatoes with mixed vegetables... but way smaller portions than i used to eat before being banded, I consume between 800-900 calories a day

I go to the gym 3-5 times a week & swim too
