After you get your first fill, how much was everyone eating? were you full for a long time? did the eating consumption go down? I'm paranoid...again lol.

Had my first fill yesterday and feel NO restriction at all. I called and scheduled another fill for next week. I can still eat pretty much whatever I want and that's not good!

KimFrmSealy,

I totally agree with you. I got my first fill on 2/2. I have no restriction as far as my tummy goes. Somedays I can eat like when I wasn't banded. Other times my esophagus feels so swollen I can't pass anything. I am having a hard time with this. Maybe I need to get another fill so I could stop eating so much.

Alice,

I think you should try another fill - especially if you can still eat that much. I can eat smaller amounts than before the surgery and be satisfied but I could certainly eat much more if I let myself. I have not had ANY problems with anything going down or coming back up. I can't wait until I get the fills right where I hit my sweet spot and can start dropping the weight. I am pleased with 20 Lbs in the first month but have not lost anything this past week .

Good Luck with your weight loss journey!

Right back at ya! Good luck with the fills!

Lots of Luv- Alice

I had my first fill on 2/12, and up until 3 days ago, it was not like I couldnt eat what I ate before, it was just that I seemed to got full faster. I was still snacking, but, still not eating as much. Now, it is really bad..I ate like 4-5 full sized chicken strips, and some girl scout cookies..I understand that the first 3-5 fills can be this way..my doctor doesnt expect a good weight loss, or even a weight gain the first 3 months after surgery.. I go in next week for my second fill and I know I need it..I have gained about 3 lbs...geri

I'm glad that I'm not alone! I lost a little over 10 pounds during the liquid phase and I'm worried that I'm going to gain it back now that I can eat like before I had the surgery. It kind of makes me feel like this is just going to be another failed attempt to lose weight! I have to keep telling myself that it's not! I also read in my paperwork that my doctor gave me a fill when I had the band put on. Is this normal? I felt restriction earlier but not really anymore and I definitley can eat. I'm getting my first fill on 3/13 and I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some docs do put in a bit..and remmeber you were swallen from surgery..that goes away quickly...now even the first fill didnt do much for me..maybe for about 2 weeks, but even then I could eat more than I wanted..now 3 weeks out from 1st one I am always eating..ick I hate it I go on the 6th for my second one..hopefully that will be a better one..geri

I hope so too!! I can't until I hit my sweet spot. How many fills does it usually take to get there-any one know??
