first fill pressure....

:biggrin:good evning friends!

had my first fill (1cc) on wed (one month post op) and it went well. the only thing is after the fill i had a ton of pressure behind my sternum and a little bit in my abdomen. i stayed on liquids for 48 hours...and the pressure subsided a little bit today...but just curious if anyone else had this after their first fill.

wed morning mother natrue delivered my ''monthly gift'' so i didnt know if that had anything to do with it or not...

thanks friends!

ps, LOVING the restricion!!!:smile2:

This is normal after a fill. Some of it could be swelling which most of the time goes down in a week or so. And yes when you do have your period you do swell a little more. What you need to look out for is being able to keep food and fluids down. If you can't then chances are you are to tight and need to have some Fluid taken out. A good restriction is feeling full and not hungry in between meals. You shouldn't experience pain and you should be able to keep things down. To much restriction (even if you can keep food down) is also not good because you aren't getting the proper nutrients.

Good luck with your fill.

Your time of the month can also make you feel tighter, so that is normal!
