New fill is a challenge

bobby_hamrick · February 13, 2005

I was filled 0.6 on last Wed. and I have really felt the difference. I'm thinking its rite or a tad much but I will wade through it and make sure the swelling goes down or any irratation from the fill. I have to be very careful what I try to eat......Like it is as it should be now and before I was playing around..

I will follow up.

Hey Bobby,

Yep, a new fill can really get our attention, can't it? Take it slow and be careful with it. The good thing it that I'm sure you'll see some weight drop off now, and that's very motivating. Be good! :eek:

Bobby, how is your fill doing now? I just got a very, very tight fill on Wednesday morning and I am on the fence on whether I should go get some out. Did yours loosen up yet?

I think I'm going to have to deflate! I can not eat solids of any kind if I can it is rarely. I am very tite and its getting to me now. I am never hungry my body knows it needs to eat and I can feel it. Monday .2 is coming out of the .6 I got....Cant live like this. I have however dropped 9 lbs in 3 weeks total but like I said, gotta eat something. My gym energy has left the building also...I'll let yall know

Bobby, I got half a cc out this morning. What a relief!!!

I'm so glad you have relief Blossom, you will probably still have nice restriction when it comes to eating solids but now it wont be such a struggle getting in for both liquids and solids...

All of you guys are making me nervous. I called my doctor today and told the nurse I think I need a fill because I fill like I can eat too much. It is scheduled for Monday the 28th. Should I be worried? Is it going to hurt?

bobby, I know my doctor makes you wait 5 days now to eat solid food after a fill. But, you still shouldn't be having major problems like that. Are you having sinus troubles? My band always gets tighter when I have sinus problems

I just had my first fill Fri 2-18. For the first two days I really felt restriction. But now I am sure I am able to eat more than I should. However, I know you guys told me to take it easy as the restriction will sometimes sneak up on you. I am very much looking forward to that day. How long do you think it will take before I begin to really feel it again?

Tracie,

I have had three fills and have yet to feel a single thing during them. And at two of the fills they had trouble getting into the port yet I still didn't feel it. Ports not that deep under the skin So its not like getting a shot into the muscle where it hurts. You'll be fine...don't worry.
