First Fill!!!

I finally got my first fill today. It was absolutely painless. My doctor numbed the site and then filled it with 1.5 cc's. He then made me drink a cup of water to make sure I could hold it down. It was so easy, I think I was anxious for nothing. I had read so many different things. Some people said it hurt, but luckily not for me. I can't really tell if I have any restriction because I haven't eat anything solid yet. Liquids until tomorrow and then I should take it slow.


Oh...and I found out today that my band holds 14 cc and they do a fill every month. To me this seems a bit conservative based on other things I have read. But that's fine, I'll take it!!!

How lap band is inserted.

A lot of my friends have been asking about the band & how it is inserted and filled etc...

So I found this video to help explain things.
