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.

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