My first fill



Recommended Posts

I had my first fill yesterday. I don't feel any different, although I did have just a little discomfort at dinner, kind of a tight feeling. He only put 2cc in because of the complications I had after my surgery. He thought I might swell too much. If I don't feel any change within 2 weeks, he said he'll put in another 1.5 cc. I had no pain and it was over in a matter of minutes.

What is the average for a first fill? I just wonder how much less I was given.

I thought the average was smaller then that. My doctor says some doctors use a scale that is 1cc first fil, 1.5cc second etc.... but he uses Water to feel how much is comfortable. I have 1.7cc my first and 2.7 on the second. I'm feeling way tight now and I'm doing liquids.< /p>

Really? I thought I might be way behind. He had me swallow Water and it didn't feel any different. And for the most part, I don't feel any difference at all. Although I have read many threads where people have said they didn't feel the difference for up to a week. Guess I'll just have to wait and see.

You know I just had my first fill on Friday and I didn't feel much different either. I did taste medicine though. Anyone have that experience? I'm glad to hear other people didn't have much of a different feeling either.:nervous

I just got mine so I'm no expert, but mine can only hold 4 cc and it's a 9.75 inamed. Hope that helps some. I don't get my first fill for 5 weeks.

No I needed to know if anyone out there has had their first fill and what their experience is like for them. It's been a week for me and not much difference for me.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
