Had My First Fill



Recommended Posts

Today was my first fill in the doctors office I was scared but everything went OK he told me lay down got a needle and said it was a pinch it was true didn't hurt at all he put in 3ccs it felt weird going in then he said get up and drink this Water. I did but I could only take sips slowly he said relax give it couple minutes then I felt fine.I felt like I wanted to burp while drinking water I went home and feel fine liquids for 24hours .

I got mine on Tuesday! They put in 4 cc and had me do the test with barium. When it didnt go down they removed 2 cc and had me do it again. It felt so weird but I definitly feel like it has made a difference!

When you say it didnt go down, does that mean it came back up? Or just didnt pass thru the band? I have such a hard time stomaching that stuff and if I puke it all up I dont know whether to blame the band or my dusgust! Lol. Was it the chaulky variety they had you take post-fill, or the more rancid applejuice sort? :shiver:

Mck - When I drink it it just didnt go down through my band so they said it was too much so they took some out. It was chalky but not bad. I was definitly glad they did it with the scan.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
