First fill-how did you feel?

[wanda-sc 0]

Just had my first fill Wednesday. 2cc, which is more than most of the users I have been reading get. They said 2 cc for first then 1/2cc after that. My stomach has been hurting since I had this done. I am having mushy foods right now and they seem to be going down fine, but my stomach just hurts.

Is this normal? Please share your fill experiences with me.

Thanks,

Wanda:confused2:

Yes, It's normal. I had my first fill done 7/29/08, a few days ago and it still hurts. My doctor said that it was normal since they had a hard time inserting the needle in the port because my port was not easy to reach. The good thing is that I had it done under a fluoroscopy so they were able to find it. Previously I went to another doctor and he couldn't access my port so that's when he referred me to this other doctor where they use a fluoroscopy.

I feel better, I do have some restriction. Hopefully I won't have to go back in a couple of months.

Did you started a regular workout? I started about a week ago. Since I work full-time and go to college part-time I don't have much time to exercise, but I'm trying really hard. I get up at 5:30am to walk and run for 2 miles. I want to see results, so that's why I'm trying really hard.

Well I just had mine yesterday and I only got 2.7 ccs in mine. And I feel the same! Kind of discouraging becasue I want to know what it feels like when you have restriction. I am not sure what the next fil will be how many ccs that is. I would call your doctor and ask what it could be the pain.

Good luck! Keep us posted ok!

I had my first fill on Monday, 7-28-08. It hurt when the needle was in and the doctor was filling it, but after that, she said stay on a liquid diet for the rest of that day and the next. I stayed on the liquid diet all that day, but the next, I was so hungry, so I went on soft food, and did fine. To be honest, I couldn't tell the difference. The next day after that, I called my doctor because I couldn't feel any restriction. They had put 2 cc in the first fill and have me scheduled for a second on the 25th of this month.

I'm still losing though. Since I went on my liquid diet 2 weeks before the surgery, 6-10-08, I've lost 31 pounds, so I really can't complain.

glad to know you guys have had a similar experience. I don't really feel any restriction. I wondered if they missed the port.
