Well, the first fill is going to Monday. I really can't wait. My weight loss has definitely stalled out and I am excited to get this kick started once again. I am trying to plan a vacation to Mexico next summer and would LOVE to drop some excess baggage by then. The earlier, the better ;-)

 

My doctor actually has me set up for an appointment on Monday, one two weeks from then, and one more two weeks from then. So, hopefully we will kick this in high gear...lol

 

What do you all do the day of your fill? Do you eat light or do liquids? I suppose I should call the doctor, perhaps, but I'm curious to see what they have you do. My appointment isn't until in the late afternoon.

    I was in the same boat as you when I went in for my first fill. I ate a "normal" breakfast. Then, I went light for lunch. That wasn't doctor's orders. However, no one gave me any specifics. It worked out fine. My first fill was done in his office. He just felt my stomach until he found my port. Took this super long needle (didn't like the sight of that), and injected the fluid. I didn't feel a thing. I was so surprised. I thought for sure it would hurt. I was slightly hungry before going in. However, I was not when I left. I didn't mind my first fill at all. The second one.....now that is another story....still getting use to it.
