IM NERVOUS ABOUT TOMORROW IT WILL BE MY FIRST FILL I HAVE BEEN SO LUCKY NOT HAVEING ANY PROBLEMS WITH ANY FOOD. NO TELLING WHAT TOMORROW WILL BRING.:smile:

I had my first fill just a few hrs ago and let me tell you...It was nothing. I was nervous but I felt a quick baby prick. Felt some pressure, then sat up drank Water (needle was still in, but didn't bother me at all) laid back down and the needle was removed.

Let me tell you, even though I am a nurse I am super afraid of needles and it didn't phase me. I did however get a bad headache. Not sure they were correlated.

I have 5cc in my band now. GOOD LUCK girl!!!

Hi,

I was just wondering if you felt any immediate restriction? I have 2 weeks till my first fill and am hungry and feel no restriction when I eat! Cannot wait to get a fill!

ahh! :smile: omg! i wish you the best, im sure everything will be fine! i have my first fill on the 26th! HUGS! <3

Hey!!

I fortunely did not go through "bandster hell" and never had hunger pains. I never felt bad or like I was starving. So, honestly I feel exactly the same. I did just eat some soup and feel full. :smile:

I hope your 2 weeks will fly by and you find comfort with your first fill.

Went and now i have 2. 1/2 ccs i hope that is a good thing

I was just banded the 12th, 2 days ago. I'm going to the boards for encouragement and experience stories. I also love seeing before and after pictures they are such an encouragement for me Lol. I have an appointment with my surgeon on the 25th. Will that probably be for a fill? I should of asked but I'm a little woozy. The surgeon had to repair a hiatal hernia when he got in there that he did not have planned. I'm just glad it wasn't something that delayed the banding procedure.

I am excited and ready to get this part of the process started. If you have any good information you want to send my way, email me at sillaspas@yahoo.com. Thanks!!

Silla, Don't worry, you should feel much better in a few days! You probably won't get a fill on the 25th. Most surgeons wait a month or so before filling. I have my first fill scheduled next Monday and was banded on 9/13. Good Luck!

Chris 2010- thanks for the info. I would like to know how much is in my band so if he doesnt do a fill on the 25th I am at least gonna ask him that question.

I see that you are a 48 F. I am a 47 F and I think our band dates are pretty close. I would like to stay in touch with you to see your progress. I come to these boards but sometimes I find them pretty hard to navigate. Hopefully when I have spent more time on them they will make sense.

Hope you having a great day.

I hear a lot of people say they can almost go back to normal after fills. I'm not so lucky. After I get a fill ( and I got my second one on Thursday) I feel awful the next day and cant usually get liquids down. But the next day i can go on liquids. It just takes a few days for my body to get back to normal. It will probably take a good week before I eat normally. I guess everyone is different! Good Luck!!!
