I had my first fill today!! Once again, another breeze of a procedure!! I didn't even feel the prick of the needle!! The doctor had my lie on the table, tighten my stomach muscles and lift my head. I had to do this to put pressure against the port while he felt for it.

He filled me with 1.5cc's and then had me sip Water. I felt the saline going into the band and when I sipped water, I definitely felt restriction. It kind of sat there for a minute and then went down slowly.

I am on only Clear liquids today and then very soft food for a couple of days after that!!! :smile2:

Congratulations ladies!! I don't go until July 3rd :thumbup:

Was the fill covered by insurance? That is the one thing I forgot ask...

My fills are covered by insurance. It depends on your insurance company. If you are unsure, call them!!!
