Dan175 1 Posted August 14, 2014 Hi all, I just had my first fill and still feeling pretty hungry. is this normal or should I be going to get tightened sooner rather than later? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B-52 7,113 Posted August 14, 2014 I gained weight between my first and 2nd fills, and my first fill was 4cc's......It can take some tweaking until you find that "sweet Spot" Everyone is different, some here have never had a fil and are 100% successful...and then others, ....

2muchfun 8,927 Posted August 14, 2014 I didn't feel any restriction/satiety till my 3rd fill. It's usually rare that someone finds satiety with just one fill. Sometimes it takes a few days or even 2 weeks before the feeling sets in? I called my doc and got back in within 30 days for fill #2 and another 45 days for fill #3. No harm in asking for more fills.

Dan175 1 Posted August 14, 2014 Thanks, I will be seeing my MD in 3 weeks. I was also started on 4 cc. 1 2muchfun reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bandista 7,466 Posted August 14, 2014 Hi Dan, I am one whose fills have to settle in -- I usually feel it on day four or so....and I needed regular fills before reaching my Green Zone at the sixth one. I was still losing weight and felt the dimmed appetite even before the Green Zone. Once there, obviously it's much easier. I've had to go back for tweaks twice since, maybe because the weight loss changes the band? I don't know. But it's a great lifestyle for me -- so happy to have that appetite monster off of my back! 1 2muchfun reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SandyM 1,956 Posted August 15, 2014 I agree with all of the above. My last fill didn't affect me til day 6. Plus it is just your first. Odds are pretty good you'll need more. I've had 4 or 5. Not sure how much and it really doesn't matter. Just keep working in your eating habits in the meantime Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan175 1 Posted August 15, 2014 Yea, I can feel my appetite dimming as time goes on. I am on a purée diet for the next couple of days and I think I will feel real results when I start eating regularly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
