Had first fill...



Recommended Posts

:canada: :canada:

Okay, got my first fill on Thursday. Not bad really. Of course, (as for any type of needle) I kept my eyes closed the whole time and wouldn't even dare look at the needle (so I still don't even know how big it is!). Like everyone said...no real pain, just some discomfort; especially when the nurse pulled it out.

The downside: I can still eat at least half a horse....so I hope it merely just hasn't "kicked in" yet; otherwise no doubt I'll go back in about 2 weeks for more. I had 5ccs put into my midband (holds 9). Immediately afterwards, I drank my whole bottle of Water in 10 mins with no problem. Yet others who were also there for their first fill could "feel it" and it took them a long time to drink their Water and they had gurgling etc. One guy had to have some removed.

So, hopefully I "feel" it soon cause I sure as heck don't now!!!

Overall, not a negative experience.

I had my first fill 9 days ago and, like you, can still eat the same amounts as I did prior to the fill. I'm sticking with the post-op diet but might have to move my appointment for a second fill up from the present date of July 6. I hope your restriction "kicks-in" for you.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
