First Fill under my belt FINALLY...



Recommended Posts

This coming monday I will be 8 weeks post op, and I just today got my first fill... I was TERRIFIED of having it done, I thought it was going to hurt like none other.... But it actually just felt as if some one had pinched me in the tummy....

They put 5 cc's into my 11 cc band.... and I am scheduled to go back in 2 weeks for another fill....Im not afraid anymore...

I cant wait to see the numbers on the scale moving again... YAYYYY:lol:

Awesome. Fills aren't really that big of a deal. Just be careful the first few days after. Some foods might not be as cooperative. I've had 2 fills so far. I'm up to 7.4 in a 14cc band.

I just had my first fill on Wednesday at 5 weeks post op. I was also nervous at first but it went smoothly. I don't go back until 4 more weeks. I had 1 cc in during surgery and only had 1/2 cc on Wednesday for a total of 1.5 cc in my 10 cc band! I am so hungry still! I am more hungry than I was prior to having the fill. Is this normal?

I go in on Sept 10th for my first fill and I can't wait! I HOPE my doctor will put in at least 3 or 4 because Im soooo hungry all the time. 1 or 2 cc's probably won't do anything for me.

Hi Amber,

My 1st fill is the 1st and he told me they typically put in 3cc's, I have no idea how big my band is, do you? I am starting to get really hungry as well, but really make the right food choices and my running has really made me feel good. How are you doing?

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
