elgrad 0 Posted November 9, 2009 If you haven't had your fill yet, don't worry. It was painless for me and so quick. And what a difference that fill has made for me! Go for it!! Elgrad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Humming Bird 275 Posted November 9, 2009 I've had 2 fills and they did not hurt at all. They gave me instructions to not eat before I go and only drink a little. I usually go late morning, so it has not been a problem. Many Drs do fills different .... mine has me drink Water to see how it feels going down, then fills some, then has me drink more water ..... I can feel when the water feels slower going down. Both fills really helped me with restriction and continued weight loss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
untfluter 3 Posted November 9, 2009 This is how my doctor does fills as well. I go on Nov 18th for my 4th fill. He didn't do a fill when I went in for my 4th....

RUready4me 2 Posted November 9, 2009 Thanks Humming Bird, my doctor said not to eat 4hrs before and don't drink 2hrs before. I guess every doctor is diffrent like you said because one of my friends who had the surgery said his doctor said no eating only drink liquids and broth 24hrs before. I want to know which one is the best because I need my band filled good because right now I'm able to eat whatever I want. My doctor told me that I have the smallest band on and its still to big for me I have a lot of room so food will easly go down like I never had a band. Today I'm suppose to get it filled to the max so it will be tight around my stomach. I'm hetting at fill at 6weeks instead of 4 weeks because of this.
