sizzlingseven got a reaction from bandforlife in First fill on Thurday . . .have questions.I just had my first fill this morning. It was at noon, and I called in the morn to ask about food intake prior and she said to have something light, but try to have nothing about 2 hrs before I arrive. We did a one-hour consult, then the fill part itself took about five minutes, which included weighing in.
The nurse inserted the needle into the wrong side, so i had to get poked twice, but it really doesn't hurt at all. Personally, I didn't feel a thing as she was filling it (3 cc's).
After, I went back into the waiting room to drink three small glasses of Water to make sure it was going down fine. A little gurgly but no problems. And that's it! I got to go home!
I've been told to be on "no lumps, bumps or chunks" for 24 hours. and don't be in a rush to get more food in me.
Good luck on thursday!
