My First Fill



Recommended Posts

Finally, I get to have my first fill tomorrow. My doctor called me yesterday checking to see how I was doing. I told him I was hungry alot of the time and he said that shouldn't be so he scheduled me to come in a week early. Now I am alittle nervous about the actual procedure. He explained it all to me but I am still chicken.:paranoid

Don't be nervous, it really isn't bad at all. I was terrified when I went in for my first one, and it was so easy that I walked out of there wondering what I got myself all worked up over. Plus, the great thing about getting that first fill is the weight loss really begins from that point. You will do great, let us know how everything went after you get back.

Oh, by the way, try doing a search on fill videos. I know there are a couple people on the board who have posted videos of their fills, and you will see how it is done so you know exactly what to expect.

Thanks I am looking now for the videos. I watched the video of the actual surgery before I had mine and to be honest it didn't scare me made me think alittle of the pain I might be in afterwards but I worried for nothing it wasn't as bad as I thought so maybe the fill video will give me more info too.

They really aren't that bad, so don't be nervous. Hopefully this will help with your hunger. You will be fine.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
