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

I'm going on Wednesday.

I assume I will get billed the normal copay rate

I was self pay so 1 year of f/u was included in my surgery price. Not sure how insurance does it tho (prob a little different for each plan).

Okay you guys probably read this on the other thread, but in case you didn't my fill went very well. No numbing, but no pain either…just a little pressure when she found the port and put the needle in.

I had 6, yes 6cc placed in my band at the time of surgery. The Fluid was removed and added back and an additional 0.5cc was added. It was quick and easy. I was on liquids for 24 hours and I'm eating normally now. I made it almost an extra hour before I got hungry after lunch today so I think I'm pretty close to the green zone already.

They said the reason I had so many CCs to start with was because there was not much of a fat pad, so more fluid was needed to get the band snug enough.."there is a skinny girl waiting to get out!" were the exact words used. :-)
