I had my first fill today! DRs put in 4 cc's at first but when I tried to drink the Water it just kept bubbling up in my throat so he removed 1cc and all is well! On full liquids for 24 hrs, mushies for another 24 hours then pretty much anything I want as long as it's a smart choice! I am so excited!

It's the moment I have been waiting for since I decided to have lap band surgery!!

YEAH! Congrats! I get my first one tomorrow! Im sooo excited!! How did u feel before you got it? Did u have a full appetite? Were you able to eat anything?? I'm just curious

Congrats to you bot on being banded and entering the chapter of fills. Good luck to both of you!

Thanks! I felt pretty good before the fill. I wasn't hungry most of the time and the few times I was I was able to control it. I can see how it would get harder and harder not to eat when you're hungry so I am glad I got the fill. I was at the soft solid food stage and able to eat anything without a problem. I was lucky I didn't have problems with anything I ate.

Good luck with yours!!

Are you allowed to eat the day of your fill befor they do it? My appt is at 2;30 on the 20th and i didnt know if i had to be on liquids the whole day before?

can eat up to 4 hrs before...

Im allowed to eat anything the day of my fill even up to my appointment. I just have rules after the fill

I wasn't given any instructions on eating the day of a fill but I had my lunch at 12:30pm and then nothing after that, my fill was at 4:30pm. After I am on liquids for 24 hrs and mushies for 24 hrs.
