Hi I will be going in for my first fill tomorrow. It had been 4 wks since my surgery, down 30lbs and ready for one. I need tips in what to expect on my first fill. I feel anxious and nervous. I need tips please.

For me,very easy. They weigh you, check vitals. Doc or PA comes in and discusses your progress. Then fill. Whole visit for me is ten minutes. Pleasant and you feel nothing!!

I agree with CTJohn. Let us know how it goes for you.

My first fill experience was good no pain just a little pinch. My doctor did not use anesthesia. I was standing up in front of an X-ray machine while he filled my band while I was drinking some white nasty liquid. Anyways I could see everything thru a monitor my band my port and the liquid going in. It was actually really cool. He put in 1.8cc's. When he was done I felt dizzy and fainted for 5 min super embarrassing.!! The dr. said that it happens sometimes. After that I felt great. So I guess clear liquids for the next 48hrs. I already feel restriction when I drink yay! . Please let me know if anyone else feels dizzy, nauseated, or has fainted when u get a fill??
