I also use USA fill centers. The provider for FL and NJ in my area have flouro!

Hey all! Has anyone been getting fills through USA fill centers? I went to FL for my first fill and it was a great experience with Kathie and got 5cc's. Now for my second fill I went to MD (Dr. Ulmer?) and it was just HORRIBLE! They didn't have flouro but it is the closest location to where I live so I figured I would give it a shot and failed! She tried for about 10mins straight poking and jabbing me until I had to tell her to stop! Felt like I was getting butchered, no numbing or anything! I ended up leaving without a fill and got SOME not all of my money back! I couldnt bend over for the rest of the day, it felt like my insides were all scraped up! Is that normal after a blind fill? I hope she didn't mess my band/port up! I just scheduled again my 2nd fill but this time I am going to NJ because they are the closest to me that has flouro. Has anyone gone to this location before? How was it and how many CC's do we usually get on our 2nd fill? Thanks! ~D

Thanks for all the responses! I am just dying for a diet coke! Drink options are limited at work so my only options are water or tea..water or tea! Tea probably has more calories than the diet coke so I hope 6months comes quick!

Is it true that we bandsters can never have carbonated drinks again or is it after 6months we can?

Hey all, I got my first fill 3weeks ago and got 5cc's in my 11cc band. I heard that for the right amount for a fill you should be able to only eat 1/3 of what you used too....well I am definitely not there. I felt some restriction maybe for the 1st couple of days but that's it. How long should we wait before we get another fill? I don't want to risk stretching my pouch or anything, but I am hungry all the TIME! Any recommendations?

Ok so for some reason I got an email yesterday that said you had said something to me, but I can't find what it is, the stuff I see is from a while back, not yesterday. So if you have sent me a comment or something please tell me how to find it. LOL
Hope you are doing well, when is your fill?

I still have so many questions about once I have restriction. like people say they eat 1/2 cup of food 3 times a day, and they also say I get 1200 calories, now either they are eating chocolate covered peanut butter dipped in sugar or they aren't getting 1200 cals or they are eating moree then 1/2 cup. If it's healthy food its impossible. just my rant, sorry

so that fill is coming, in my 2 days of food I've felt stuck mildly twice, got to slow down. no slim, just pressure. I puked even before I started solids, now I'm freaked out. Cant wait to here about the fill. I'm terrified of flying there and them saying oh we cant fill you, its my nightmare.
-
I am now 4weeks and 3days post op and I can eat anything but then again I haven't had a fill yet! I am sure after the fill some foods will become obsolete! At least that's what I am hoping for! Thank you guys for all your responses! I'll keep these in mind for later!
