Not feeling good after first fill :(



Recommended Posts

I had my first fill on Wednesday this week. Yesterday when I was taking my morning med it got stuck and bad. Four hours of pain before i think it went down and I've been miserable since. I can hardly get down Water. I hear girggling and feels like things are backing up. I'm sure I irritated the area but was a little over 2cc too much for a first fill on a 10cc band?

I was going to call this morning but I am pretty sure they will say just stick to clear liquid till the swelling goes down. Anyway, was wondering if any of you had this after and how long did it take to get used to that first fill.

I got my 1st fill last Thursday. 2.5cc in a 10cc band. I can eat anything. I am so frustrated! I wish I could get some restriction.

I know this is almost a week ago. I hope you are feeling better now.

For me, I am just trying to diet as if I did not have the band on at all. Sucks since I spent so much money on this darn thing. Oh well. Maybe one day I will get my "sweet spot":thumbup:

Don't worry. It takes a lot of trial and error getting to the "sweet spot". So many people seem to just breeze through this process. But not me. I have had little fills that do nothing for me but it seems that is the safest way to go. It just takes time. If you get lots of big fills, that is when you get too tight. My friends, being too tight is always horrible. So hang in there. It will eventually be where you say to yourself, "It is finally doing what it is supposed to do." Good luck.

Thanks. Dieting on my own I have lost 4 lbs since my "fill"

So I will just be patient and do the best I can with my own dieting and exercising until I can get the fill that works.

Good luck! And thanks again for the encouraging words!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
