I had my first fill on Wednesday this week. Yesterday when I was taking my morning med it got stuck and bad. Four hours of pain before i think it went down and I've been miserable since. I can hardly get down Water. I hear girggling and feels like things are backing up. I'm sure I irritated the area but was a little over 2cc too much for a first fill on a 10cc band?

I was going to call this morning but I am pretty sure they will say just stick to clear liquid till the swelling goes down. Anyway, was wondering if any of you had this after and how long did it take to get used to that first fill.

Hi,

I had 4cc my first fill and felt fine..but everyone is so different...you may be too tight... I was told swelling shouldnt last more than a few days...I waited almost four and knew something was wrong after the second fill. I would definitely meantion the backing up..feeling. The backing up....I didnt have that...the nurse told me you dont want to be too tight as that is what causes slippage...and she asked me if it hurt worse if I laid down..it didnt...so they didnt Xray for slippage.

I know the nurse told me if you didnt eat for at least four hours before a fill that you get a "better" fill ..meaning tighter..more restrictive..but I honestly think me waiting 8 hours before getting filled caused me to be overfilled. I plan on eating a light lunch next time before my fill and I think it will be fine..

Dont be afraid to call your doctor..that is why he is there..to take care of you..good luck and let me know what happens..
