I had lap band surgery 22 Apr 08, have lost 18 lbs so far and ready for first fill.:tongue2:

Welcome to LBT. You are doing great!

Hi and welcome to LBT! When are you scheduled for your fill?

18! thats awesome. Your doing freakin fantastic.

I was so nervous for my first fill, but it turned out to be a peice of cake.

good luck with yours.

I have heard the first fill hurts and you have to go back on liquids for two days. Is that true. I get first fill on 23 My. I am a little scared of the unknown.

I am still pre-op, so I don't know if fills hurt. I have read that doctors do suggest you go back on liquids for a few days following fills, then back to mushies and then solids, just like post-op. Check with your doctor at the time of your fill and see what he says.

thanks, sounds like you have done all your research
