I have my first fill today and am really nervous. I have lost 40lbs since surgery and am nervous to rock the boat! Should be interesting to see what the doc has to say!

Good luck at your appointment and congratulations on your success thus far!

WOW, 40 lbs congratulations! Don't be nervous, no big deal!

My story is similar and I'm nervous too. But it will all be fine. That's why we went through all this, right? Congrats on your weight loss though. You've done so good!

Thanks all - in talking with my surgeon and nutritionist, we opted against the first fill for now. Going back in 3 wks to check in on hunger levels/need for a fill.

Good, now stop worrying, it causes stress which is known to cause eating! LOL

It's ok to take your time on fills. Remember it's a journey!!!!

Great job on the 40 lbs!! What kinds of foods are you eating?

Today is my first fill. I'm waiting at the docs now. I'm down 37 lbs. I'm nervous lol

That was me yesterday, but it was okay. It didn't hurt. Although I have been very careful with eating and drinking. We will see if it makes things any better. Will probably take several before I notice it. I hope all goes well next time you see the doc and don't worry. My doc made it very easy and pain free.
