  1. Hi stacey its been a while since I got my surgery 4th aug 2010 but I'll just let u know what I can remember. I only had to wait a month for my first fill but missed it. I was like u able to eat pretty much the same as b4 and that's quite literally the norm. Actually it took until my 3rd/4th fill for me to actually feel any difference. To me u r right on track and nothing outa the ordinary. Just try and b good and stay away from fatty foods and fizzy drinks. U may notice some difference for a few days after ur first fill but mine and my friends wasn't really anything to write about until a few fills in. So be patient and good luck x
  2. Hey how's u? Well I'd say no I dnt think its too tight if food is still goin down ok. I just had my 5th fill today and so have 7ml in mine. I have the same sensation in the sense that I can not drink a lot even water but yet can eat mushy foods ok. I think its the displacemnt of air/water in ur stomach that causes the problem wen drinking and. I would say not to worry unless u find u cnt swallow mushy foods either x
