I just had my first fill yesterday. I want to make sure that how I'm feeling is "normal". Right after the fill, they had me drink 4 ounces of water. It took about 20 minutes to do that. I could literally feel it going down and it was making me burp. That night I had chicken broth and although I sipped it slowly, I felt okay. This morning I am drinking my carnation instant breakfast and it's taking forever. I am feeling a "fullness" feeling in my chest. It's not painful, and I don't feel sick, it just feels awkward. I've only had about 3 or 4 sips so far so I don't know what's going on. Does this feeling pass? Is this normal? Thanks for your help!

Yes. Very normal. It may loosen up a little next few days.

I have a shake every morning for breakfast and I have to take it slow.

It's a good feeling knowing the band is there doing it's job.

Ok good to know, I have my first fill on tommorrow, Im nervous too...they said that they will give me a numbing shot first then do the fill......I still have some restriction cause I cant eat that much, but now I get a "hungry feeling" Still cant eat that much but I get hungry .....before i did not want to eat or forgot to eat

Keep in mind that just because you are scheduled for a adjustment, does not mean you will get one.

You will be weighed, # lost dived by # weeks will determine how much you are averaging per week. They'll ask a few questions, maybe show you the Yellow-Green-Red chart and ask you where do you think you are, then either give you an adjustment or send you home saying you're doing fine. See you in another 4 weeks.

At least that is how it has happened to me.
