i hate getting fills now....im too tight every time causing pain and heartburn and lower back pain....UGH!!!

I don't understand, if you are too tight then why are you getting more fills?

Did you tell your doc this???

Does the pain subside after some time? I too hate fills. It is because I had alot of pain from the injection one time. Now I cringe when I even think about getting a fill.

I have no pain during the fill, other than a little poke of the needle. I do have complete restriction for about 24 hours after the fill and drink nothing but liquids, but I was forwarned of that by the doctor. Usually about the first week it is a little tighter than the norm and I eat less and lose anywhere from 5-8 lbs in the forst week after a fill, but after that it loosens up a little and I am good.

be happy that your getting that, because I have had my removed twice and it's been almost a year and the Dr.Still will not give me a fill, so be happy with yours,and don't complain because when you do they take it out and you will gain not lose, so take it from someone that's started at 189 lbs.and got to 135 lbs,a nd gain over 25 lbs and still going up.
