What To Expect With First Fill?



Recommended Posts

Hi all - just wanted your thoughts on what I can expect with my first fill? I think I might be expecting too much as far as restriction goes....also, I'm such a wimp with needles...does it hurt??

My doctor numbs the area up, and that's the worst part, tiny poke, but the medicine stings for a couple of second. After that, I feel nothing.

Also, absolutely no restriction after my first 3 cc fill. Not much restriction after my second fill of 1.2 cc's. Maybe three will be the charm!

My first was 2cc's and no restriction. It didn't hurt me just a tiny pinch. My doc made me put my hands behind my head and put my legs up like doing a leg lift and before I knew it he was done. My second last week was 3cc's. I have a little restriction but not there yet. Maybe the third times the charm!

My dr had me lay down blow up my stomach stuck needle it did hurt as much as a lot of shots do. Put in 2 cc I could feel a strange tightening in stomach not unpleasant. Sr had me air up sip 3 sips of Water no problems. I did get restriction. More on 2 wk. and in green now 4 weeks.

Xavier, I envy you! Here I am still trying for that green zone 13 months out. She gave me a tiny fill today, .1 cc. I wish I could come up to the lady you go to!

No pain, don't even feel the needle. Worst experience I have ever had with a fill was when I spotted a spider crawling across the surgeon's roof while I was lying down, waiting for the needle.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
