Today was my first fill in the doctors office I was scared but everything went OK he told me lay down got a needle and said it was a pinch it was true didn't hurt at all he put in 3ccs it felt weird going in then he said get up and drink this water. I did but I could only take sips slowly he said relax give it couple minutes then I felt fine.I felt like I wanted to burp while drinking water I went home and feel fine liquids for 24hours .

I had my first fill today as well..... like you said it wasnt that bad at all.... i really thought it was going to be more painful... Im so excited to finally start utilizing the band.... YAY!!!!

I got my first fill too! WHAT a difference!

I got mine on Tuesday! They put in 4 cc and had me do the test with barium. When it didnt go down they removed 2 cc and had me do it again. It felt so weird but I definitly feel like it has made a difference!

When you say it didnt go down, does that mean it came back up? Or just didnt pass thru the band? I have such a hard time stomaching that stuff and if I puke it all up I dont know whether to blame the band or my dusgust! Lol. Was it the chaulky variety they had you take post-fill, or the more rancid applejuice sort? :shiver:

I guess everyone is different good luck to everyone.

My first fill is next Tuesday! Excited!

Mck - When I drink it it just didnt go down through my band so they said it was too much so they took some out. It was chalky but not bad. I was definitly glad they did it with the scan.
