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

When he tried it the first time and I had to drink that chalky stuff it will like it was leaking it wasn't taking after positioning me and rearrange of how he was inserting the needle in me and inserting two additional cc it was finally taking

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.

      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. 🤞
