Hey Lapbanders!!!
Hello Fellow Dr. Aceves Bandster!
The fills are not painful at all, I hope you are getting yours under fluoro, this will permit the doctor to find the port easily with the x ray. I have never liked needles but then agian who does?
Mexican doctors are more flexible on the amount of liquid you get in, some doctors in the US will only fill a certian amount on the 1st fill even if you think you need more. You will see and feel the restriction and know if it feels tight. You don't want to get overfilled either it can be pretty miserable for the next few weeks if you do.
Take it easy, it takes a couple of fills to get to your "sweet spot" , just enjoy the weight loss after your fill and know that the best part about this is that you can always get another one and continue losing.

I ws banded a year and a half ago and have lost 107 lbs and counting. It is getting harder to lose weight as I get closer to my goal weight which is 160. I am very happy with the results right now and I think I can remain at this level of adjustment in my band for a long time.
