I'm so happy that I finally have some fill. It was pretty easy although I almost fainted.

I layed down and she numbed me with spray then stuck the needle in. It looked pretty big but didn't hurt. The most that hurt was my port is still sore so poking around on that was a little uncomfortable. Then she had me stand up with the needle sticking out of me (this is the part I almost fainted at). She put 2cc's in and had me do a barrum swallow while we watched it on the x-ray thing. Then she put in another 2cc's and had me swallow more. She seemed happy with the results and so was I so far.

On Clear liquids today and full liquids tomorrow then mushies for a day.

I go back in 3 more weeks for another fill.

I have my 1st fill on 9/22..I can't wait..I need to feel full again... I am sorry you had such an interesting needle incident. I would have fainted and thrown-up.. I am a big chicken with needles...

keep up the good work..

Awesome!!

You are on your way!! I will get my first fill on August 23rd, 4 weeks after surgery. I am definitely starting to get more hungry now. I need to prepare to be in "bandster hell" for those next two weeks.

So cool to see everyone progressing along. When we first started this forum we were all unbanded, didn't know what to expect, and now we're blossoming successful bandsters... makes me want to cry, in a good way though!!:laugh:

IM SO JEALOUS!!! i am getting so hungry so frequent now. I really hope i get a fill when i go in on tuesday. I will be over five weeks post op. I am so ready for one!!!!

I was banded on 8 5 09 and had my first fill today. It was not bad at all. I am doing liquids today and tomorrow and on to softs on sunday. I am sooo hopeful for restriction with this fill...The dr felt that i might have been not eating enuff before the fill(can u imagine that)..i was told today to eat every three hours but to make wise choices with the foods...today has not been bad at all..maybe because of the fill..I was too nervous about the fill to eat any breakfast so I finally got some soup about 1pm and just ate a 1/2 cup of jello cheesecake about 30 minutes ago(4:45)..We will see how the scale likes this every 3 hour eating.. Will keep you guys posted...:laugh:
