First Fill



Recommended Posts

Had my first fill yesterday, all went well yesterday but feeling very full and uncomfortable today. Does your body need to re-adjust?

Yes, your body.....and sometimes our minds/habits need to readjust. Take it slow with introducing solids. Not sure how much of a fill you got, but if your "feeling full", sounds like a good thing to me! Congrats! :)

The short answer is yes. On one fill it was almost 2 weeks before I felt it. On another fill, it was the next morning before realizing I was overfilled. Each time, I could drink Water with no problem in the docs office. If you can get water down, I have been told, no need to panic. If you have problems, evaluate yourself with the basic rules about bite size, eating too fast, eating too much, drinking too soon, if you still have problems and you are uncomfortable, you may need to adjust the fill in the band. Good luck, it seems like each person is a little bit different. You are unique! Have a great day!

Hi Jakki, I just had my first fill, too -- it seems like learning to listen to all the body's signals is the key to the whole thing. So happy to be in this place, a month out. Seems like just yesterday we were waiting to be banded! It's all happening, just a process.......good luck to you!

Oh yes, your body (mind too) has to adjust to every fill. You will need to learn how to eat with each and every fill. Take it easy and follow your doctors orders. As you get more restriction you will need to learn new eating habits.

Good luck to you, you are on your way.

      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.

        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!
