Im getting my first fill tomorrow little excited, little scared of the unknown.. i probabaly need to stop reading everyones horror stories...lol any advice before fill?

Hi, How did your fill go?? Any advice as I go for my first fill this afternoon. I am beyond nervous. I also read the horror stories. Probably not a good idea.:thumbup:

Appt is not until 3pm today, will let you know how everything goes..

I had my 1st fill today at it was easypeasy! :thumbup: It was the overthinking about it which was the worst part..

It felt like any other blood test-type shot ..and I could feel it go through the hard part of the port..didn't hurt, just felt strange!

No biggie!

Same for me!! Today was my first fill. I was so nervous I had my husband go with me. My doctor had to go into surgery. so I had to wait an hour to be seen by a doctor I never met. Man I had myself work up for nothing. He said I had a really easy port to find and was done so fast. He put 3cc in my 14 band. No problems what so ever!:thumbup:

I had my first fill yesterday as well. I was so nervous all for nothing. It was a piece of cake. Got 2cc in my 10cc band.

Hi

Don't worry even a bit. I had my first fill two days ago and it's a snap. Going to get my teeth cleaned is harder. Just a quick pinch and seconds later you are good to go. You will speak with your fill nurse about what to expect. Don't worry about any of that. I think it is different for everybody. Mine was a cinch. No issues with swallowing or eating afterwards. Now, I can't wait for my next fill as I don't seem to have much restriction at all. Easy, peasy!! Good luck!

I got my first fill yesterday. 2cc in a 10cc band. The injection itself was virtually painless as they use local anesthetic first. But trying to sip the 3 cups of water afterwords...at first if felt like I had swallowed a big baseball my esophagus hurt!!! Water went down fine but I had alot of air that wanted to come up. It got a little easier by the time I made it to the third cup of water (45 minutes later). I couldn't even drink my protein shakes yesterday I just didn't feel hungry!!! Today it's a little better occassionally throughout the day I will have that "stuck baseball" feeling again and it hurts!!!! I have to "burp myself" and the pain goes away. I hope this is not going to be a lifelong thing! Tomorrow I am supposed to be able to start eating for the first time since April 26th! I am a little leary but am looking forward to trying some blended fat free refried beans and salsa!
