I am 6 weeks and 2 days post op today. I was nervous about getting my 1st fill because I didn't know what to expect. It was not as bad at all. 1st I was injected with same numbing med. That was the worst part. It felt like a pinch. I didn't feel a thing when my surgeon injected the 4cc fill. I was told to take it easy tomorrow with a soft diet then regular after that. I have lost 29 lbs since pre op diet/banded. 9 lbs from the pre op diet and 20 since surgery.

I just got my first fill as well but only 2cc....maybe I should of got 4cc as well??

Glad to see this thread. I will have my first fill on April 10th - five weeks post op. I was wondering what it would feel like. They said they do 3 cc for the first fill. I have lost 23 lbs so far (3.5 weeks post op/no pre-op diet) and I am feeling great. I have to host a small get together at my house that evening for work. Do you think I should push the fill back a week? How did you feel physically afterward?

I think 2 cc should be good..I did 2cc and I deff feel the restriction...in only one week I lost 6 pounds...just make sure u follow the liquid diet all over again for the first 3 days...but next time I would do it for 4 days.....and then gradually go bak to eating food
