First fill today!

I got my first fill today. I was so nervous! It didnt hurt at all! It wasnt comfortable when she was pressing on my stomach to find my port. She said I have some scar tissue so before she just poked me she wanted to make sure.

I asked how much she put in and she said about 1/4. Does that mean i now have .25 cc in my band? She said she only put a little bit in because I was still having pretty good restriction and I stay full.

So whoever is afraid that the fill is going to hurt, it doesn't AT ALL! I didn't even get the numbing stuff that some people talk about.

Glad to hear that. I have my first fill next week and I was worried it was gonna hurt. Glad you still have restrictions. I lost that 1 week after my surgery. I can't get enough to eat now and worried they won't put enough fluid in to restrict me.

Im sorry to hear you have no restriction. It seems to be pretty common. I feel kinda lucky. It might take a few fills to get you where you need to be so dont get discouraged!
