Thanks

Do a search on fills to find out what to do for successful ones. There is good advice like don't eat 4 hours before, liquids only, no cold liquids, etc. The process for most is painless. I have had about 6 or 7 with fills and unfills. It is over in about 2 minutes. For some reason I get chills and fever about 1 hour afterwards that lasts for about 4 hours. Not many have those kind of side effects so don't let that bother you.

Just got my second on today. It was very easy, not painful, I didn't feel anything..... I think we scare ourselves more than we need to.... we already did the "painful" part! good luck

Its easy. Best thing you can do is just relax and don't worry.

with any of them. Usually didn't even notice any diffewrence for a day or two after.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
