First Fill Special Instrucitons ????

I'm scheduled for my first fill on Monday 5/21/2012. My doctor didn't tell me anything I needed to do prior to the fill, however I have been reading that you should drink plenty of water prior to the fill and that you should eat a liquid diet prior to the fill so your stomach will be empty.

Does anyone know anything about this?????

I didn't have to but after the fill I had to do soft foods for 24 hours. Not sure thats any help tho....:)

Here are some basic guidelines from the lapband.com web site. This site is full of valuable information for new bandsters. In the early months of my journey I lived on this web site and have read pretty much all the articles. I wanted to be as informed as I could be so I could be successful in my journey and work through the frustrations. So far this has worked well for me, I am 19 months post surgery and 103 lbs lost with 17 to go to goal. Good luck to you and I hope this helps.

Thank you for the information, I will look on the web site, and thanks for the information about post fill. I have learned through this process that we have to be pro-active about our health, ask questions, read, and research. Thank you again and I wish you much continued success on your lap band journey -:)

My doc says not to eat a big lunch before coming in and eat about 3-4 hours before my appt. So far, so good.
