First Fill Tomorrow



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery October 14th and I get my 1st fill tomorrow what should I expect?

Is it going to hurt?

Is there any do's or don'ts I should know about?

If you haven't had your fill yet, don't worry. It was painless for me and so quick. And what a difference that fill has made for me! Go for it!!

I've had 2 fills and they did not hurt at all. They gave me instructions to not eat before I go and only drink a little. I usually go late morning, so it has not been a problem. Many Drs do fills different .... mine has me drink Water to see how it feels going down, then fills some, then has me drink more water ..... I can feel when the water feels slower going down.

Both fills really helped me with restriction and continued weight loss.

This is how my doctor does fills as well. I go on Nov 18th for my 4th fill. He didn't do a fill when I went in for my 4th....

Thanks Humming Bird, my doctor said not to eat 4hrs before and don't drink 2hrs before. I guess every doctor is diffrent like you said because one of my friends who had the surgery said his doctor said no eating only drink liquids and broth 24hrs before. I want to know which one is the best because I need my band filled good because right now I'm able to eat whatever I want. My doctor told me that I have the smallest band on and its still to big for me I have a lot of room so food will easly go down like I never had a band. Today I'm suppose to get it filled to the max so it will be tight around my stomach. I'm hetting at fill at 6weeks instead of 4 weeks because of this.

      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!
