First Fill !!!!



Recommended Posts

I had my 1st fill yesterday afternoon. I was 6 weeks out. I had a good brunch before going to the doctors. He added 1cc to the 3cc already in the band from surgery. I am guessing most of that is in the tubing going from the port to the band itself. I tried to get him to tell me what band and size I give, but he skirted the answer for some reason. I am guessing that since I have 4 cc, must be one of the 10 cc bands. I am going to try and get the nurse to tell me next time. He also told me not to come back for 6 weeks??? I am not hungry this first day while I am on liquids. Will have to wait a couple to days to see.

I had my first fill about 5 weeks out and it was 4.5cc in a 10cc band. My doc said not to go hungry, but call right back if it wasn't enough. I quickly discovered I needed more, but due to my own schedule, couldn't get down there until this Friday. Can't wait to get more of a fill. I'm starving.

My first fill was a nightmare!!! My vagus nerve was overstimulated by the adding saline / drinking Water cycle and I almost passed out twice, then I threw up about 8 times. My doctor said he never had a patient get sick during a fill...I was the first.

I had my 2nd fill today and it went okay...I felt like I was going to pass out once, but after I laid down for about 5 minutes I was fine.

1st fill - 1cc

2nd fill - 3 cc

Wow, Kalia, your doing good with 36 lbs lost. I won't get my next for 6 weeks, which is a suprise. I guess if I don't lose any weight, or its very slow I can call and get one.

We will have to see. I feel full most all day, but, like most others, I am hungry before bed!!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

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