Question

[EJRN 79]

I got my first fill 2 weeks ago. 3cc's. I've heard, including from my Dr, that after a couple of weeks, I could possibly be eating more to be satisfied and feeling hungrier earlier (not in the green zone). At 2 weeks after that fill, I'm very happy with my fill and my "restriction" (I know the difference...just using the word for conversation). My question is, how long before you started noticing you need more of a fill? People have told me that I'm going to need NUMEROUS fills but I'm smart enough to know every one is different. Just want to know how it was for YOU.....YES. YOU!!!!!

I just got my second fill today. It had been 6 weeks since my first fill and I actually canceled an appt between the two becuz I felt I didn't want\need one. I definitely felt like i needed it today. My portions and bites were getting too big. Hope that answerex your question. :-)

For me, I had to keep getting fills(6) until I felt I couldn't handle any more without being too tight/restricted. At 6 I was getting stuck often but I was never hungry. So, after 3 months of this I decided I was too tight so I got an adjustment of .5 less saline. I felt satisfied but not for as long. The Holidays were coming up so I opted to wait it out and didn't lose any weight for 6 months. So, I got a fill 2 months ago and now I'm back in the green zone.

My mistake of taking saline out cost me at least 6 months in my journey. What I thought was too tight was just me not eating small enough and chewing enough. I hope I learned my lesson. Eating properly has been the most difficult part of this journey.
