My first fill



Recommended Posts

I had my first fill yesterday. I don't feel any different, although I did have just a little discomfort at dinner, kind of a tight feeling. He only put 2cc in because of the complications I had after my surgery. He thought I might swell too much. If I don't feel any change within 2 weeks, he said he'll put in another 1.5 cc. I had no pain and it was over in a matter of minutes.

What is the average for a first fill? I just wonder how much less I was given.

I thought the average was smaller then that. My doctor says some doctors use a scale that is 1cc first fil, 1.5cc second etc.... but he uses Water to feel how much is comfortable. I have 1.7cc my first and 2.7 on the second. I'm feeling way tight now and I'm doing liquids.< /p>

Really? I thought I might be way behind. He had me swallow Water and it didn't feel any different. And for the most part, I don't feel any difference at all. Although I have read many threads where people have said they didn't feel the difference for up to a week. Guess I'll just have to wait and see.

You know I just had my first fill on Friday and I didn't feel much different either. I did taste medicine though. Anyone have that experience? I'm glad to hear other people didn't have much of a different feeling either.:nervous

I just got mine so I'm no expert, but mine can only hold 4 cc and it's a 9.75 inamed. Hope that helps some. I don't get my first fill for 5 weeks.

No I needed to know if anyone out there has had their first fill and what their experience is like for them. It's been a week for me and not much difference for me.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
