Hey all, I have my 1st fill 2morrow afternoon!:smile: I am really excited about it to. I just have a few questions I am hoping will be answered before I have to leave.

Question # 1. How much restriction (if any) should I be able to feel after having it done?

Question # 2. Will the phone finally stay in my pouch longer than what it does now and make me feel fuller longer than I feel fuller now?

Question # 3. Should I expect to lose more weight with my first fill? I have already lost 15 pounds without the restriction and am really hoping to lose more with my first fill.

Is #2 a trick question to see if we are really reading closely? I don't know about the phone in your pouch...I'd think you have a better, more easily accessed place to keep it, but that's just me LOL

You probably won't feel restriction the first time; many don't. Depends on how much your doc puts in. No restriction yet means you'll still get hungry sooner. Good luck!

:smile: ROTFLMAO...where in the world did that come from. The phone in my pouch? You know, it's really hard to type when you are laughing so hard that you actually have tears in your eyes.

What I meant to say, will the feeling of fullness last any longer. LOL I can't believe I said that.

I KNOW you've been hungry...I just didn't really realize HOW hungry! LOL

Anyway...no the first fill won't help much, most likely, unless your surgeon is really aggressive (and that isn't a good thing) but you're on your way! Be patient a little longer. And keep that phone away from your teeth! LOL

Question # 2. Will the phone finally stay in my pouch longer than what it does now and make me feel fuller longer than I feel fuller now?

LMAO:lol: I was wondering, what does restriction have to do with her phone?

Apparently she's on a "restricted' plan ROFLMAO

Too funny! At least you know where to find it!

I did feel some restriction with my first fill - I had 3cc put in and it did make a difference. However, everybody is different. If you are losing weight you should continue to lose weight, I would think!

Apparently she's on a "restricted' plan ROFLMAO

Note to self:

Keep the phone away from mouth and dont read anything from Restless Monkey while drinking. I had a sip of chocolate milk in my mouth and my computer screen just about wore it. I love you guys, you know how to make a person laugh when she needs it.

If I remember correctly, the Nurse that is doing my fill said that she would put in between 2ccs and 3ccs just depending on how much I could handle.

Good luck and all kidding aside, let us know, ok? I get my 1st on 10/9 and I'm VERY excited even though I figure I won't feel different. At least it's progress! :cursing:

I just got my first fill today and while he was doing it I was having some kind of x-ray and I too could see it going down. This helped him determine how much to put in it. Doesn't every Doctor do it this way?

He put 2cc in me and that was too much, the liquid did not move very well so he took a bit out. I have 1.8cc in now and I am on liquids for the day. I already felt restriction so I am really wondering what this it going to be like.

Good luck!
