Anyone get their first fill yet? What was it like and how are you doing?

I'm going on Wednesday.

I'm waiting for the first of the year. Im heading out of town in a little over week and I'm still having issues with tightness. First of the year for me

Mine is Dec 9th. I would love to know how it goes and how you feel after.

I will report back to my fellow November banders after Wednesday.

Good luck on Wed! I'm scheduled for Dec 12.

So far I lost 9lbs pre-op, 3 lbs in my first week post-op, 2 lbs in the second week post-op, and no weight last week (my 3rd week post-op). Hoping to at least maintain, and not gain, until my first fill! A loss would be nice too of course, but I don't have much restriction.

First fill today! It's like a light bee sting and it was really quick.

Mine is this week, but for the life of me I cannot remember if it's Wednesday or Thursday. I will report back as well.

First fill cancelled today. My son woke up with a stomach virus and thought I should wait to see if I get it before tightening my band. So it will be next week for me!

@@briefs199 I go tomorrow

Let me know how it goes!!!

@@briefs199 will do, I am right now trying to stick to the stage 2 diet plan, but I had some tuna fish on toast a minute ago and I will be glad to eat a bit more variety by Saturday, even if it is in small portions.

I'm rescheduled for my first fill in the morning tomorrow. Am I allowed to eat before?

Fill is this morning!

Brieds199, I was told liquids only

Had my fill this morning. Originally the nurse out in 3cc but I was gurgling a little after drinking Water in the waiting room so he took out .5cc. So I'm at 2.5cc in a 10cc band.

Glad I had that .5 taken out. It was a strange feeling! I am on liquids and then mushy for a few days.

Hope everyone is doing great!

Out of curiosity, do you guys pay for your fills, whether insurance co-pays or whatever? My co-pay was $20. A little surprised - I was under the impression that my after care/follow up appointments were included.
