Hi All, I've been scheduled to have my first band adjustment this Monday, May 21st. Can anyone give me a heads up on how their first time adjustments went ?

I'm going to be watching replies. I'm only a week out of surgery, haven't had my first post-op appt, yet. I will be curious, too! Thanks for the post!

Its really no big deal at all. No worries. The PA does the adjustment (fills) at my surgeons office. Some use flouroscopy but mine just finds the port by pressing on the site. Then sticks a needle in which numbs the port site, then sticks you with a syringe (which you won't feel at all) and fills you with saline. Its quick and painless... Best wishes to you! Dee
