As my first fill today. Wasn't to bad. I have a 14 band and had 5cc in. So they added 2cc more. Was pretty easy. Weird part of appointment is that when they were looking for port with needed they found a seroma, fluid pocket that can happen when you have surgery like I did. They pulled about 10ccs of fluid out of my abdomen. What I thought was the port this whole time was the hard ball of fluid. Glad it didn't get infected. Overall a good appointment though.

Sgnelson I'm going tomorrow for my first fill I,m scared did it hurt?

Not to bad. Depends on how you do with needles. They don't bug me. Just small pinch. Really is easy.

I have my first fill Thursday 10-17. Had the Lap-Band AP placed 9-13 with no fill at the time of placement. My surgeon puts the port in the chest. Small incision under the arm. I can't feel it so I am not sure exactly where it is. His rational is that the chest cavity undergoes less amounts of movement/manipulation than the abdomen. Hope your post fill goes well.

The fills really don't hurt. I had my 3 or 4th the other day. I forgot which number. It was my first since February. My doctor goes slow with them. I have either 2.2 or 2.4 total. First he emptied the port to make sure his records and my port were the same and they were. Having a doctor on top of that stuff I feel is important too. I will say since Friday I am eating less food. That was why i wanted the fill. I don't see him again for 3 months this time.

You all will do great.

Good luck on your fill! It will go great!
