Ok...I had my fill this afternoon (3.55 in a 10cc band). My stomach on the bottom feels hungry, but above the band is all gurggley. The liquids have gone down fine, I don't feel like I am re-fluxing or anything, but since this is my first fill, I was curious if this is normal.

Also, how much swelling do you usually get? I feel sore from the needle prick, but there was minimal movement of the actual needle.

Thanks in advance!

Ive noticed if I have eaten within a few hours of getting a fill, it gets a bit trapped in the new tighter space and takes a while to work its way down and feels weirder than if I had an empty stomach. Unfortunately I havent always chewed well, and sometimes I have things in there which dont really fit with the new restriction. So if that happens I tend to feel a bit of pain at it scrapes the sides on its way down. Maybe that whats happening?

my Dr. put me on a liquid diet for 1 day after a fill

Mine recommends hot chocolate after a fill until the next morning.

But what you describe is what is suppose to happen...hunger...gonna happen sometime!

Grace Utah..

You have lost 108 lbs. since July? Unbelievable! Way to go!

What do you contribute to your success??

I've had 12 fills in 11 months, lost 42 lbs. with 15 or so more to go...much slower weight loss than most, but I'm not working out either...
