Hello Everyone! Just got my first fill today. 4.2 cc's for a 11 cc band. It was a breeze. They used no numbing solution or anything. I felt nothing. The only time I felt a little soreness was from standing up with the needle still in me to fill the band. A paper cut would of been much worse. I was on the flouroscope machine table and it automatically hoists you up from lying down to standing. Don't be afraid of your first fill. I'm one of the biggest needle chickens there is and it was fine. Horray! I beat the big fill fright beast! He was a big beastie indeed!!!!!

You are doing great! 27 down that is fantastic. That's what our Thanksgiving turkey weighed - and that was a heavy thing to lug up to the check-out. You gotta be walkin' on air! Keep on going....I'm prayin' for you!

That is so good to hear. I have my first fill this upcoming Tuesday and I am dreading it a little, but excited to get the restriction at the same time.

Keep up the good work!

Debra,

We got banded the same day by the same doctor. I get my first fill Friday Dec 9. I'm a little scared because I can't feel my port. Are you suppost to be able to feel it? I hope everything goes well for both of us. I need some restriction at this point.

Good Luck!
