Had My First Fill Today

[donna12 742]

I'm 4 weeks post op yesterday and had my first fill today, feel weird. The doctor put 4cc's in and then I drank some Water to see how I would tolerate that and I did fine so I guess I'm ok but still feel tightening in my throat, is that normal? Thought sure I'd get only 2cc's today being it was my first but he put 4 in. Scared to eat now, of course I'm on soft foods now but scared to eat when I can, eek!

yea I know, I thought 4cc's was a bit much for the 1st time but I just went with it. I go back in 2 weeks to weigh in and to check in with him to see how this is doing for me.

I had 4cc at the time of surgery. Did you have any put in during surgery?

no I didn't have any saline in my band at surgery time, today was my first time, I was so nervous but it was nothing to it.

I hope so, maybe this will kick start a few more pounds down for me in the next couple of weeks till I go back in to see him again for a check up. Of course I don't want to lose it too fast. Have been making healthy food choices since surgery and he was happy to hear that today.
