Congratulations on your band date. I know how excited you must be!

My suggestion is to go on the cruise and on the way back home get your first fill. Everyone reacts differently to the fill process and when they feel restriction; some say over a week for them. So if it were me, I would not like to be out in the middle of the ocean potentially being overfilled or having golfballs and/or PBing.

Best wishes,

Jo Ann

DEFINITELY after....on the way back. You don't want to get your first fill (or any fill for that matter!) and then go away.....if you experience difficulty, you will be out of luck!!

I also say after.

AFTER. most definitely.

AFTER! after! after!

I'd have to say after as well, though for me, I'd have it before.

I say "after" only b/c it will be highly embarrassing to have your first fill and have a burping, gas/pb episode in front of your family and friends. They may or may not know what is going on with you and it would be something to try to explain. Also, who wants Soup the entire cruise right?

The best reason for doing it after, and I'm sure what the rest of us are thinking, is that if for some reason you're the odd person who has crazy restriction after their first fill, you don't want to NOT be able to eat, (even worse, not drink) for the whole trip, and/or have to have some stranger in some foreign country stickin' a needle in your belly, hoping they know what they're doing.

Please absolutely DO NOT get a fill before you go! Take my advice. I did it the day before a trip and my trip was hell because of it. I hated every moment of it all. Please do not do it. Trust me!

Do not get a fill until you come back from this trip!
