How do you feel after your fills?

I'm curious. Some people say they have more gas and feel bloated for a few days after they get a fill. Some people feel exactly the same no matter what. Others have different experiences entirely.

So what's your experience? Do you physically feel any different in the week or so after you have Fluid added to your band? What differences do you notice? How long does it last? How soon do you notice the difference?

Thanks for sating my curiosity :)

i feel fine while having the fill and for the rest of the day. but the next morning my abdomen feels a little sore. not at port site, but inside. just aches. but goes away in time to consume solids again. doc says the squeezing of the organ causes swelling. makes sense.

That's EXACTLY how I feel. Sore. After the two days of liquids, when its time for solids, I feel fine.

I got my 1st fill Nov. 6th. I believe my band only holds 5 cc so my Dr. gave me 2.5

I went to eat right after my fill and was able to eat cottage cheese. Since I was still hungry I had a few nachos from my dates plate at the Yardhouse... I was not restriced to liquids or mushies.

I felt a little restriction while I was getting the injection and it beagn to fade.

I was able to eat the next day in the morning & in the afternoon. I didn't feel too much restriction & I still don't. As long as I chew it well, it will go down.

I get my 2nd fill Dec 4th hopefully it will be tighter...

Don't forget, everyone is different though.
