Sorry, new at this poll thing. Looking to see when people got their first fill, especially to see how all the August All Stars are doing and when they are/have gone? :thumbup:

I survived my first fill and it was a little more intense than I thought it would be, but my threshold for discomfort is HIGH so I made it :thumbup: The Dr. had a hard time finding the port site, so finally after the sixth try he got it and then I drank a glass of water then out I go. I don't feel or see any differences in my eating but it's only the first one. The area around my port site was a little tender for a week after too, I'm sure from all the probing and pushing on my abdomen. I apprently there was 4cc already there from the surgery, so he added one and now I have 5cc in my 10 cc band. Hope all the August All Stars are doing well - I'm doing great!

i was banded on 10sept and had my first fill on 30th oct i had 5cc put in a 14cc band

I was banded August 11, 2008, no fill yet. Yesterday was 12 weeks post op. On my last appt, the doctor said I was doing good with the small fill during surgery, and my new learned eating habits are taking care of the weight. They mentioned ther was one guy that went 6 mts without a fill.
