I go to get my first fill on wed. what should i expect i am kind of nervous

pushing on your tummy to locate the port and than a small needle prick less then a shot. Be for then a lot of talking about how your eating and feeling 20 mintues and u r out back in 2 wks if you are hungry in less then 4 hours. Doint wait long inbetween fills after my 3 rd fill I know what the band is suppose to do for me and it fills great. I am never hungry. I get brain hungry when I see or smell food that I loved in the past but I adviod there places and evn trun down the sound on the TV ads for food.All these little tricks really work.

Line-dancer covered it pretty well. I would add drink liquids only for the first 24 hours after a fill, then mushies for a day, then back to normal meals.!

And you may have some pre-fill instructions, I have to not drink or eat anything 3 hours before a fill and like Cheznoel said, the liquids after this, but I have to go through all stages like surgery time after each fill (liquid, mushy, soft, solid). If they have problems finding your port (my first time they did, but had an inexperienced nurse) a tip that has worked every time I have gone for a fill (lot of my weight in my belly) is to put your arms straight over your head and do an ab crunch with knees up as you are lying down, it's not easy, but better than them sticking you multiple times. And you may not feel the needle, the place that does mine uses a numbing spray so I can't tell she is doing it and I'm terrified of needles so this was very important to me.

I told my nurse that I should maybe get a tattoo - X marks the spot of my port, she laughed and said as we lose weight the spot might change...........she has it marked in her files where it is, so she usually hits it first try.
