I went in today for my first fill. I was banded 12/17 and had to move my first fill appt up a week b/c I was able to eat more & was getting hungry sooner. I was so nervous, BUT the only thing I felt was a tiny pinch when he numbed me. I didn't feel the fill needle at all! seriously, I had to sit up with the needle in me & drink water. YOU CANT FEEL ANYTHING!!! I wish someone had told me this before I went in. I had nothing to worry about at all! It's so simple & pain free. I have to make another appt in a week or two for my second fill. I was nervous going in there, but leving I felt stupid realizing how dumb that was. Painless!!!! Good luck everyone! Oh & I'm down 15 pounds since 12/17. YAY!!!

Congrats on the loss!!!! I had my first fill on the 23rd.

I got my first fill today...

I was all worked up with a serious case of the nerves... it turned out to be no big deal (and I HATE needles) - anyone that is getting their first fill soon, don't worry, it will be just fine. :thumbup: (if I can do it, anyone can!!)
