I have to get my first fill a little early due to my work schedule. Do you think that I'll be okay? What should i expect? How much of a fill do people typically get at first? I DON'T want to barf!

LOTS of us got our first fill as 4 weeks without issue. My first fill was aggressive (4cc on top of the .6 that was left in my band after they tested it before putting it in)....and it was just tooooo tight. They had to remove 1cc.

But if you stay at the doc's for a little while after and drink a big glass of Water you will know well before time to go if you are too tight or not:smile:

I had my first fill exactly one month after surgery, with absolutely no problems. I barely felt the fill (4 cc) & was glad to be on liquids for 2 days afterwards, as I really didn't feel like eating much. Like Cathy, I had to drink water before leaving the dr's office. I had my 2nd fill (1 cc) last Thurs, and agin, was not really hungry afterwards, and happy to just have liquid protein for a few days.

I had my first fill at about 4 1/2 weeks out which brought me to 4cc and had no issues. In fact, my next two fills were four weeks apart and I've reached really good restriction right now.
