First fill today...port was twisted took doc several mins and some pain to find where to poke...:eek:He put in 3cc. I forgot i was supose to go on a liquid diet. WHen I remembered I wanted to eat regular foods, so I did. I have not had any pain. Questions: 1. If I don't feel pain is it ok to eat regular foods after a fill as long as I am careful and take my time? I want to make sure that i'm not making the band less effective...and screwing up my restriction somehow. If you eat solid foods right away does that screw up the tightness of the band? 2. Has anyone else had port fill trouble? That was kind of scary. 3. How long does it usually take to feel restriction after a fill? Thanks, Stacy

It will be nice to talk to you all and get to know you better Suffering Stacy :wub: Remember..sort of like those garbage pail kid names
