First Fill Tomorrow

[lgm217 2]

So excited and a bit nervous for my first fill tomorrow. What are the "rules" prior to the fill? Is it no food or drink two hours prior?

What can I expect?

I didnt have any "rules" for my first fill... They just weighed me, asked a few questions about how I felt, checked all my incisions to make sure all was healing and gave me my fill. They do want you on liquids though after your first fill for 24 hours.. just to make sure you dont irritate your band. I thought it would hurt, because I hate shots and needles.. but honestly, you have nothing to worry about. They typically use a machine that helps them detect where your port is exactly so there are no mistakes or misses.. and I didnt feel anything. Since it is your first fill, you may not feel restriction this time.. but by the third fill, i was feeling it working.

Best of luck and dont be scared... You'll be fine!

I didn't have a fill at my first appt but I did the second one. I was not to eat 2 hours prior and on liquids for 2 days and then mushies for 2 days.

I was nervous but it was all for nothing. the NP felt around, gave me my fill and I was done. Good luck!

Had my first fill a couple of weeks ago. Didn't hurt at all, the only thing I had a problem with was the amount the Dr put in. He started with 3cc and I could not tolerate it. Could not get Water down and started hiccuping like crazy. He had to take some out, don't know how much though because I forgot to ask.

Each Doctor is different, I could eat till about 2 hrs before fill and then liquids the rest of the day. I had this done yesterday and am on regular food, doing good. Definitely feel the restriction just like right after surgery.
