How Long Did You Fill Take To 'kick In.'



Recommended Posts

I had my fill 5 days ago and I am not restricted enough for my liking. I was told by the doctor that it can take up to 4 week for the fill to "kick in'. I find that hard to believe. In any case he reduces to fill until 6 weeks out. Has anyone started to fill restriction a month after a fill?

My fills take between 2 to 3 weeks but i would have thought 4 weeks was possible. Are u not confident he knows what he's talking about ?

I'm really not. He's a good doctor but quite dismissive and has a one size fits all approach to medicine.

Well hopefully u will feel it kick in soonish, but u didnt mention what fill this was, my initial fills i never really felt them kick in at all till i hit the 4th fill smile.png

Well everyone is different but i would say that on average you wont feel much restriction till u get some more fills in, some never need a fill, some only a couple and others it can be 4 or 5 fills, just bear with it i am sure it will all work out :)

I never felt anything my first fill. It wasnt until my fourth fill that I finally felt restriction. Now it does take a week or two for my fill to kick in.

      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.
