First fill too mich?



Recommended Posts

I just had (literally) within 30 min ago my first fill and it's 5cc is that too much. At first my doctor tried 3 but it wasn't taking, so after positioning me 5 times, he added 2more cc and it took. My concerns are will it be too tight. Scared to death. Please anyone calm my nerves

Did he have you drink a glass of Water after the fill to see how it went down? If you couldn't get Water down then you are too tight.

Otherwise, follow any instructions he gave you re soft foods for the next day or two etc and give it time.

From reading your post, it doesn't sound as if you have any actual signs of being too tight, just that you are concerned that you may be because he added the extra 2cc.

Good luck and if you do have any concerns, contact your doctor.
