I have my first fill coming up my band is completely empty because I was having issues with eating! I was banded december 6 2012 and lost 145 plus 40prior to the surgery! Reason why I'm scared I'm afraid the pain will come back again

wow 145lbs and with no fill!!! that is awesome! what willpower you must have. I don't have a fill yet I am actually full on what I eat so I am okay for now.

I can say this, I had a needle go into my port to remove air that was trapped inside my band after surgery, and like you I was sooo scared. OMG, I had an anxiety attack in the office just thinking about it. Once they put the numbing gel on my belly she found the port in seconds, put the needle in and in a matter of seconds it was over with!

I worried for nothing!

You are going to be just fine, keep us posted on your first fill
