I just got banded yesterday (May 11th) I am wondering how long the soreness will last because although I'm less sore today than yesterday, I wonder if I'll be healed enough three weeks from now when I visit the Dr. for the first fill. Pls share your experiences with me regarding your first fill and if it hurt from the surgery. thx in advance.

my first fill wasnt until 6 weeks post op. I didnt hurt at all and I dont think it would have hurt had it been done sooner either. THey do have to poke me very near my port scar (the large one) but really it hurt less then getting a shot. I wish I would have been able to get a fill sooner. From about week 3-6 I was starving good luck to you

The initial soreness shouldn't last long, a couple of days or so. Where I go they don't do fills until about 5 weeks after surgery though.
