I have my first fill tomorrow. Im nervous... i heard its not bad but what im nervous about is the hoping it helps more then just the band its self!

I'm getting my first fill tomorrow too and I'm nervous! The nurse at my Dr.'s office said the band doesn't make you fuller faster but forces you to eat slower, but that goes against everything I was ever taught about lap band. Good luck! I hope it gies great for you! :-)

Good luck to you too!!!

Go to youtube and search lapband fills. Lots of videos of folks having fills. It's no big deal.

Good idea thanks!

The fills are no big deal. You may feel a pinch but, nothing to fret about. Don't get your expectations too high on feeling any difference after the first fill. That is very rare but, it's one step closer to restriction and feeling like you have more than "just the band". Hang in there. You're headed towards the green zone.

... And Renae, I think it makes you get fuller fast (hence you eat less) and forces you to eat slower (or you suffer the consequences).
