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.

      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! 😞
