Hello, I am new to all this and I have the some of the same concerns. I had my surgery on Oct 20, had my 1st fill Nov 18th (3cc), 2nd fill Jan 7th (1cc). I have only lost 22lbs since the surgery date. I can still eat what I want and when I want. Sometimes I get to that full feeling. I have never had the pains in the chest, water mouth feeling like a need to throw-up. Not that I want to feel this way, but I want to feel like I am full. When will this happen. I go for my next fill on Feb 18th. I have not lost any weight from my 2nd fill yet. Still waiting on the weight to go down.
