How Long Did You Fill Take To 'kick In.'



Recommended Posts

I had my fill 5 days ago and I am not restricted enough for my liking. I was told by the doctor that it can take up to 4 week for the fill to "kick in'. I find that hard to believe. In any case he reduces to fill until 6 weeks out. Has anyone started to fill restriction a month after a fill?

My fills take between 2 to 3 weeks but i would have thought 4 weeks was possible. Are u not confident he knows what he's talking about ?

I'm really not. He's a good doctor but quite dismissive and has a one size fits all approach to medicine.

Well hopefully u will feel it kick in soonish, but u didnt mention what fill this was, my initial fills i never really felt them kick in at all till i hit the 4th fill smile.png

Well everyone is different but i would say that on average you wont feel much restriction till u get some more fills in, some never need a fill, some only a couple and others it can be 4 or 5 fills, just bear with it i am sure it will all work out :)

I never felt anything my first fill. It wasnt until my fourth fill that I finally felt restriction. Now it does take a week or two for my fill to kick in.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
