First Fill Today

[RachelC 15]

I had my first fill this afternoon - I am 7 weeks post-op. It really wasn't that bad. I was a little nervous, especially once I saw the needle they use (holy crapola) but I barely felt it and it took literally like 5 seconds. The doc gave me 3 cc's and then had me drink some Water. It went down fine but I definitely felt it going down. I've been having that sensation prior to my fill, but not with liquids, only food.< /p>

I am drinking tea right now and everytime I take a sip, I can feel it pass through and my tummy makes a weird gurgling noise and I'm feeling really gassy (as in having to burp constantly).

Is this a common feeling?

yes it is... burping is a good thing walking will help it also...stay on liquids today nd work up slowly you should feel fine tomorrow....gj

oh good questions, I have my first fill on Monday morning. Should I eat Breakfast before my fill or just have protien shake?

I went with an empty stomach and Rachel describe things perfectly. I also got 3cc on Monday!
