My First Fill

I woulld like to get advise on what to do to prepare for my first fill which will take place on this Wednesday October 24th Help me please I hope this fill works because I feel like I never had surgery thanx Love Kelly

Hi Kelly,

I didn't have to prepare for my fill, nor did I have to do liquids again afterwards.  It was very quick with my doc.  Why are you feeling like you never had surgery?  What size band do you have?

Muah

4 cc is the size of my band I feel like I can eat normal I feel like I never had srgery

I have a 4cc band as well and have 2 - 1cc fills.  I was never sure if I felt restriction b/c I wouldn't eat more than I should.  The plan I was given to follow after surgery was great and I stuck right to it; measuring foods, eating 500-750 calories a day, etc.  We aren't supposed to eat until we feel full, at that point we could be stretching ourselves out.  I hope your fill helps ya!!

Kelly: I had my first fill on 10/8/07 . I did not start feeling any restriction. until today. 2wks later. The fill was 1cc in my 4cc band. I know they do it gradually so not to over fill. Even when you don't feel restriction you should try to apply band rules . It is important to get the practice for when you are restricted.  I did not have to do any preparation for the fill . I did have to go on liquids and mushies a day or 2 after. Relax and enjoy . Many people do not get restriction until second or third fill. I hope you get it with the first. Karen
