Had first fill got a question

kimmom · July 13, 2007

Hi Just wondered if anyone feels restriction from the first fill ? I had 3ccs in a 10cc band. I feel no different just a bit nausious. I hope I get some restriction they wont give me another fill for 5 more weeks. Thanks for your thoughts

I got 1 cc in my 4cc band and did not feel any difference. DH got 3 cc's in his 10cc and didn't feel any difference except the nausea like you. We go back for our 2nd fill July 30. We'll wait and see how that feels.

I felt a little different for about 4 days...then back to starving... I'm going for my 2nd fill today.

From what I've read around here and on other sites you very RARELY feel any restriction with a first fill, most folks say it takes 2, 3, or more fills to get there.

What I don't get AT ALL is why you have to wait so long? That's INSANE. I'd ask why. It seems to vary between two and four weeks between fills for docs. It can take a couple of weeks for a fill to "kick in" so I guess that's why some will wait a bit longer than two weeks, but if your doc doesn't give you a good answer as to why not, I'd find another doc straight away

I agree with you Faith... After my first fill (6/29) my Dr said to schedule another visit in 6-8 weeks but to give it a week or two and if I didnt feel any difference to call and schedule a sooner appt. Well, I gave it 6 days and no difference.. so I called but the soonest I could get in was today (7/13). However I'm keeping my appt for 8/1 JUST IN CASE this fill does nothing for me..

Kim, it took me 5 fills to finally feel restriction. I still have problems finding the right fill level. You will be fine. Just go back and get more saline if you aren't filled enough. good luck.
