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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
