First Fill... Wasn't Bad At All



Recommended Posts

I had my first fill yesterday. I was banded on 6/5 and yesterday my doctor added 5cc's to my 11cc band. I'm excited to start feeling some more restriction. Surely the 5cc's will help?

My next fill isn't until September, until then I plan to start working out! Ready to get the scale moving lower and lower.

The fill itself didn't hurt, some discomfort but I will say that my doctor is awesome, pricked me once, did what he needed to do and I was outta there.

I'm getting my first fill today. My doc does it under X-ray, but I don't think it's much different.

Ugh! Hit send by accident... Anyhow glad everything was good for you. How long are you on liquids? Mine is 24-48 hours as tolerated then mushies, etc... I think I'm more anxious about the liquid diet than the needle.

My doc actually just had me lay down and sit up like I was doing a crunch and then he felt for it. Liquids for two days for me, I was kinda sad about that when he first told me but I had some Soup yesterday and it wasn't too bad. Today I'm going to have some Greek yogurt.

i had mine last week, my doc said 24-48 hours but I ended up having to do 5 days for my body. I got really bad stomact pains the one night I tried to eat. Good luck my weight loss started back up after the fill forsure.

      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. 🤞
