Hi all it's been a while since I've posted. I finally had my first fill 15 days ago!!! I had my surgery June 29th at TLBC in Toronto. I live in Saskatchewan so to go back to Toronto for my fills is not feasible. My GP has agreed to do for my fills for me even though she hasn't done too many. The best part is I don't pay for them. I'm not sure why, I don't have any insurance but I'm not going to question it:tt2: Anyways because of slowness on TLBC in getting my file to my doc and then some scheduling complications I had to wait a long time for my fill. 15 days ago I had 2cc's in a 10cc bad. It was fine I didn't notice alot of restriction but I did lose 2.2 lbs so I was happy about that. I just went back yesterday and had 2.5 more put in so i'm at 4.5 cc's total. Here's my questions... Even after my first fill I noticed that the first two bites of each meal we're difficult to get down. I realize I was eating quickly when I was hungry and had several bites in before I realized things weren't moving. So now I watch but still those first two bites are difficult. I chew well swallow and then wait several minutes for the stuck feelling to go away. I don't throw up or anything it's just super uncomfortable but once they get down then I'm fine for the rest of the meal. Anyone else experience this?? Also how often do you go for fills? My doctor has me going every two weeks right now. Thirdly once you find your sweet spot how long does that last for? My doctor seems to think that I always need to go every 2 weeks because the fluid absorbs. I don't agree with her but maybe I'm wrong. Thanks for reading my lengthy post, and any help you may have.
