jacobsmomyatta 0 Posted July 22, 2008 sorry to reply so late but i'm sure everything will be (or was) alright. it is much different than an iv and a lot less painful. the anticipation is the worst part. i actually had my second fill today and it was less painful than the first, which was much like a pin poke. let us know how it went! a few seconds of discomfort is so worth the end result! good luck--- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Advice. Let me know what the first fill was like. I go in a few weeks and I have not lost any weight in about a week. I hope it went well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let us know how it went... what was the feeling after the fill when you ate? I already try and just stop when I am full and chew carefully etc. but I was curious because I am already not eating very much. Maybe I am still healing and it is sort of like having a fill. It has not yet been 4 weeks for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
txjanaa1 0 Posted July 23, 2008 For me there was more restriction, but from what I hear everyone is different. I have 4.6cc in my band now. I go for my follow-up on Friday and am waying back and forth as to if I want another fill or not. It all depends on what I eat really. Things I would think would get stuck, i.e, chips, toast, chicken...dont! But other things, soft stuff does. I think it just all depends on the person and the band.
