  1. Yes I had this same problem for about 4-5 days. If you are drinking any fruit juice this will cause your current problem.
  2. I new I needed the fill because even though I was watching what I was eating I could eat anything I wanted without restriction. I would eat a meal and though I was satisfied I could of continued eating. My doctor said the way to gague if you need a fill is if you have gone a couple of weeks without weight loss and you have a desire to snack. Good Luck.
  3. I was the same way the farther I got out from my surgery the bigger my appitite and the less restriction. Since the fill 3 cc's added to the two cc's put in during the surgery, I am very restricted. As for the full feeling I don't really have that but I am not having alot of hunger. Good luck.
  4. Don't be nervous about the fill. It is the same as getting a shot. I had my done under xray and I watched the whole thing. I will say that I do now have restriction. I have only been able to get Soup and salad to go down. I have gotten meat stuck twice. So I may be a bit tight but I am going to go with it and see if it loosens up. Good luck to you and don't be affarid.
  5. Hello all, my name is Rodger I had my surgery on 9/17/08 and my first fill today a couple of hours ago. I have been reading along for some time and just wanted to introduce my self. I have lost 27.5 pre and post op and am very excited about getting my 1st fill. I have great hopes that the fill will move me from feeling all alone on a diet to having the tool needed to get full sooner and the full feeling lasting longer. I wish everyone the best and believe very strongly that each and every one of us can move to a happier healthier life.
