What Does The Fill Feel Like?



Recommended Posts

I'm 3 weeks post OP and I have about 3 weeks until my first fill. I'm curious if when the band is filled, will feel anything like the post op swelling did. Or is it a different type of feeling

Thanks.

That is a great question and I am curious about it myself. I am almost 2 weeks post op and am just now starting to feel little hunger pains between meals....but no where near what I would feel before the band.

I had my first fill of 1.5cc on Sept 18 and I haven't felt anything so far.

Hi all, I had 4 fills so far. You might not feel anything until your 3rd or 4th fill, for me I don't feel anything different until you eat fast or larger bites and if you don't chew good enough. Also with every fill I find that I get full with less food. Just be careful and follow the rules.

Yes you wont feed much with the first fill, i agree with the others i didnt feel restriction till my 3rd fill really have to eat small portions and chew good.

I had my first fill 3 weeks ago & I haven't felt any difference. I go for my second fill next week, so I guess I'll see then!! I have heard it can take between 2-6 fills to get restriction.

      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
