Hi Vicki,

How exciting, i remmeber waiting for my first fill.. i was soo nervous! I am not much further then you i had my band done 3/31.

Does anyone know you got the band? Not many of my friends/family know. But i have a group of gals on here so it makes life a lot easier.

How old are your kiddos?

Hi Vicki! The first fill is nothing to worry over. I just had mine last week, and I was amazed at how painless it was! I've never had a needle stick me that didn't hurt! I still don't understand why, but I'm grateful!

Good luck and feel free to message me anytime.

Vicki, I too was so nervous about my first fill. It is something we have never done and it is scarey to imagine. But, it is very easy. My doctor numbs the area with a little needle that I hardly feel, then does the fill. He then has me drink a little water to make sure it can go down and I am on my way. The first time, I left the doctor and got in my car and had to laugh at myself for being scared. It was, excuse the words, a piece of cake! Remember you have a huge group of family here to support you. Thank you for your husbands service to our country. We may not agree that we should be there, but we certainly agree that we stand behind and support our troops. My son was in Afghanstan and has returned home now. I will keep your husband in my prayers. Don't be afraid to ask us questions, that is what we are here for. I only needed three fills till I was at my sweet spot. I am very excited for you and your journey here. Keep us posted.

Hi Vicki,

I was thinking the same thing. I go for my first fill Friday the 10th. I'm very nervous about it. Sounds like you have a lot on your plate (ok, maybe a bad expression in this instance!!) :biggrin: but things will get better. Before you know it, this surgery will be a year(s) behind you, your hubby will be home and you'll see how far you've come! I'll be thinking of you, let me know how it goes. Talk to you soon!!

Hi Vicky,

You're at Fort Hood.... I'm in Dallas. My fiance is at Fort Bliss in El Paso. Deployments must be so hard. I haven't gone through that, but I may in November. I'm going for my first fill this afternoon. I tried to get psyched up by thinking that I want him to see a difference in me the next time he sees me. I'm also a teacher, so I want everyone to see a difference when we get back to school in August.

Good luck!

So..I had my fill today and had 2cc's put in. I am nervous that I wont feel a difference. Thanks for writing me back guys its good knowing that someone else has been were I have been.
