I had my band put in on 12 August, I've lost 34 pounds and the doctor decided to put a fill in this afternoon, because I've only lost 1 pound in the last 3 weeks. I was so worried it would hurt or well, I didn't know how it would feel. It was nothing!!!!!!!!! Ok, so having a needle stuck into your stomach is not normal, but it felt like a soft pinch. The weirdest part was when he pulled the needle out; he said I would feel a slight pulling sensation, slight my Aunt Fanny!!! It felt like my bellybutton was being pulled out, although there was no pain, it was a sensation I had never felt before and that is saying something for a 52 year old! I go back in a month, sot see if I've kept up with the 1-2 pounds a week. I'm ready to hang out at the gym everyday and become LESS of a person, LOL.

congrat's on surviving your first fill. just remember you do have some restriction. chew your food carefully and sip that Fluid. eating will be different. good luck

Hi Dewey, thanks for a great post. I look forward to being a lesser person as well. And thanks for insight into fill world. My first potential one is 12/2. This whole thing is pretty exciting, I have to say! And 34 pounds -- yee ha! That is great.
