I always eat something right before mine at the hospitol because I know I won't be able to eat good again for awhile. Yes, you can. GOOD LUCK!

I am told not to have anything to eat or drink four hours before a fill. (Pouch should be empty) Good Luck with your fill!

I guess you should ask your doctor. It seems everyone is different.

Well I just got back from my first fill. He did it under flouroscopy. He filled it with 4cc. So far I can swallow ok.

It went very smooth and didn't hurt.

Glad everything went well.

Holy Cow! 4cc's for your 1st fill?! That seems like a lot. I thought I had a lot put in mine for my 1st fill but it's nothing compared to yours. I had 2.5cc's put in on Wednesday last week and I'm extremely tight. Especially in the mornings. Sometimes if I take to big of a drink of Water it won't go down all the way. It just slowly goes down. Good luck with your fill and I hope it works out for you. :thumbup:
