Is this normal?



Recommended Posts

I got my first fill today. I got 4cc's, is that too much for a first fill? I am worried about being too tight. liquids go down a little slower than before the fill but they dont get stuck. I am expirencing a lot of gas and my mouth is producing a lot more saliva, is this normal?

I got about 4 ccs with my first fill in my 10 cc band. It was different for a few days, maybe even a couple of weeks, but eventually it loosened to where I could eat everything. It wasn't too much for me.

Every body is different, though, so pay attention to your own self. If you can't swallow Water, start getting reflux or can't get any food down (once you're eating food) then you're probably too tight.

you should not have any solids on a fill day...only liquids for 24 hours....every dr is different, but this rings true......

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

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
