Will this hurt? what happens afterwards? Will I be able to eat food? how will I know when I get that full sensation? Kinda scared!! Wonder how much will they put in there?

I just had my second fill last week. For both of my fills, no pain. I was offered a numbing anesthetic and took it. I was told 48 hours of full liquids after the fills. My first fill did not really give me much of a full sensation once I went back on solid food, but my second one did. My advice is to eat very slowly as you try to feel the satiety signals. Eating too fast causes me to chow down right past "enough" into "too much".

Good luck! And don't worry if you don't notice much difference the first time. Most people need several adjustments to get to their green zone.

I had my first fill last Thursday. 3cc. No numbing stuff. Felt nothing. They gave me a glass of Water and I let out a big burp. Oops. But nurse, who had band ten years ago, laughed and said that's common.

liquid for two days then back to food. Can't say I feel too much different. Next appointment in a month.

They are pros.... No need to fret. Took two minutes

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
