To be honest, I was terrified how my fill was going to go. I have to say it wasn't bad at all... actually it was the weirdest feeling. My Dr. numbed me and then had to poke around a little, then put in 1cc and we were all done. I am doing really well getting my liquids down and even had some fruit for lunch, I can't eat as much at each sitting though, so that is good! AND I'm down 25 lbs since my surgery! WOOHOO!!! :whoo:

Has anyone else felt restricted after their first fill? Or even before 1st fill? I have... just wondering if this is the norm?

yes, I had pretty good restriction after my 1st fill...and my second....but both went away within a week or two. This third fill of mine seems to be holding well, but it was pretty darn tight for a couple of weeks!

Just had my first fill today. My doc didnt numb it & i just drank a glass of water as he did it. He put in 4.8cc. Didnt hurt at all...just a bit weird when he pulled it out.

I always get some restriction after a fill, but usually it goes away in a week or two. After I had a 5/6 fills, it held for me for over a year.
