1st fill & still feel hungry.

[Crystal76 11]

My surgery was June 16th & I had a really rough time. So when I went for my 1st fill on the 14th the doc said we were just gonna take baby steps & only put in a cc, which they had already removed a cc a few wks before bc of all the trouble I was having. My problem is I'm eating to much now & I've gained a few pounds & I'm freaking out! I didn't pay this much money to gain weight!! My next appt is not until August 19th. Should I try to go sooner b4 I pack on 20lbs?!?!

Start by writing down intake for a few days , drink lots Water an show the doctor your log he will adjust according to that. Good luck , temper baby steps this is for the. Rest of your life .

It is odd how different doctors are. I had surgery on June 20 and no fill yet at all.

I had my first fill of 4cc's 4 weeks after surgery.....was scheduled to come back 4 weeks after that....in between those appointments, after my first fill, I GAINED weight....

I showed up at the next appointment, discouraged and frustrated....my Dr. LAUGHED at me....said I didn't "Get It", but I will eventually...he then explained the whole process to me, Green Zone, etc, and what his treatment plan was to get me there....so he gave me a 2nd fill....and all that happened then was I maintained my weight...did not gain, nor loose.....

The 3rd fill is the one that did the trick...sent me for a loop...it took me a while to adjust to it. I wanted to go back and get the fill removed but my Dr. talked me out of it....he knew it was me that was the problem, not a tight band....and he was right!

Your thread could have been typed by me 3 months ago. I promise you that it will get better. If you want to PM me I can give you a few tips but will tell you it's mainly just a head trip for a while. No fun but you will be ok. You did not waste your money.

Same here. Finally got my first fill two weeks ago, lost five pounds but now just seem to be trying to maintain. It's driving me crazy!

I am 6 months post op. I have had 6 fills. This last one is the charm. Green zone finally. But until you get there, it's frustrating. I went 2 months with out losing anything. Hungry all t he time.
