I had my first fill yesterday, it wasn't nearly as bad as I had built it up to be in my mind. I went back immediately and was weighed (down 5 pounds from last visit) then sent to the room. The nurse came in and commented on how great I look. She got the fill stuff ready, the doctor came in and felt around on the port; which was the worst part, then stuck the needle in. Nothing to numb me but it really wasn't that bad.
I asked him to check out one of the incisions because it didn't seem to be healing as fast as the others. There was a stitch that hadn't dissolved so he had to dig it out. Now that hurt!!
The doctor put 2cc in the band and will put another 2cc in Aug 31. He said I probably would start to feel restriction between 4 and 6cc but he would rather build up gradually because he finds it causes less problems.
