When Does A Frst Fill Happen, And What Is The First Fill Like? How Is It A Accomplished? Are Needles Involved?

I was banded on the 26th of October, and am scheduled for my follow up on Nov. 13. Only full liquids till then.

Will my fist fill happen then? Is it yucky? so far, I have lost 32 lbs including the pre-banding diet and the post badimg period.

When it happens depends on your specific surgeon, though usually 4-8 weeks after surgery.

Yes, it involves a needle. It's the only way to add Fluid to the band.

My fills are always no big deal. A matter of seconds then done. I never even feel the needle go in.

Thanks! I should haves asked more about the process before or immediately after the surgery. Thank you, and thank God for this site!

My first fill was almost 6 weeks from my band date. You don't feel the needle.
