Hi. I was banded on December 9th, 2010. I am going for my first fill on Jan. 19th. I have lost 20lbs but it has been a struggle as I am alwaus hungry. Anyways, I just want to know what to expect afer the first fill and will it help with the hungar? Thanks,

I didnt feel any restriction @ my 1st or 2nd fill but call the dr and he did a fill with xray and put in 3cc which i thought was alot but. He said should be fine. I will warn you that when you get a fill its like your airway is being squeased off

Airway being squeezed off? I didn't notice this at all! I haven't heard this before. Did you tell your surgeon you experienced this?

I had my first fill yesterday under fluoro...only thing I felt at all was the needle for the numbing medication. I kept looking for something to feel but didn't feel a thing. Unfortunately, I didn't feel restriction when they gave me my 6 oz of Water to drink after it was done, either. But I know it can take a few fills to get there....was just really hoping to notice a difference.

I think TODAY I might be feeling a little restriction. I ate a yogurt and Jello for lunch, and was totally full....so maybe I do feel it already? The surgeon said I may not really notice till I'm back on solids...so I'm hoping my lunch experience is a good sign.
