Had first fill.... do feel much different



Recommended Posts

It really does depend on the person. I am going in for my 5th fill in january and I can't wait. although i have been struggling with chicken, bread, i am resorting back to the old days with the soft foods.

Yes, it depends on your body. For me it took me 5 fills to finally have good restriction. Keep going back until you get there. Good luck.

Hi! I too just had my first fill on Thursday... I feel very different in the morning (more restriction- as many experience). Today is my second day of liquids.. last night I had cream of chicken Soup and it was not keeping the hunger away... I guess it was just running right through.

How much did you get filled with? I was done with 1.5... they tried 2cc's but it was not staying down.

I was able to watch it on the x-ray.. it was really cool to watch it and then feel the liquid going down at the same time!

The little 'mini' support group that collected in the waiting room as we all waiting to get in for the fill was pretty fun too!

I love love love the band!

Whisper!

Can`t wait for my first fill on the 17th after a 3 month wait. Just hope it works as I don`t want to wait a further 3 months for a second.

      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'. ???

        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!
