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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
