Fill Question

[Kittycat]

Hi everyone,

I know it's seems like a silly question...I am scheduled for my first fill next week, but still have some restriction when I eat, however, I am not staying full for more than 1 1/2 hrs, would this be a signal for me to get a fill?

I have a healthy snacks inbetween, which I shouldn't have to right? If I could eat more at meals, I would probably be full longer, but the restriction is stopping me from doing so.

I would appreciate any feedback!

Thanks Cathy

Go ahead and get your fill while you can. They may only give you a little and you will need it. I had restriction after surgery, but oneday it was just gone! I had to wait like 4 weeks for a fill and I was miserable.

Thanks Kim,

So based on what I have said, would you say that I need one?

I don't want to end up getting one and not being able to eat or drink at all.

Cathy: I had the same feeling at my 4 week check up so I waited until 8 weeks; I should have gotten the fill, I lost weight but then I noticed I could eat more than I should and I was hungry more often, like every two hours. For my first fill I got 2cc's and I had better restriction, you get use to it and readjust your eating. I belive that is the reason for the small fills, to let you get use to the feeling and yet continue to eat healthy. Just remember to really chew. I got another 1.5 last week and I have to really eat slow and take very small bites. I also have more restriction at different times, there is no pattern. I like the full feeling, Get the fill!

I was told you need a fill if you are no longer losing weight and have no restriction.

You know me by now, I say, GO FOR THE FILL!!!!

I agree, get the fill. They will probaly only give you a little one and it will be a good "primer" for your second fill - then you will reach your sweet spot sooner.

Don't worry, they will test the fill before you leave to make sure you can still drink.

You are lucky that you can get one at 4 weeks, I would have jumped at the opportunity.

I will get the fill...my surgeon said they start small, which is good.

I am only an hour away, so I can book fills whenever I need them, and all fills and f/ups visits for 5 years is included in my initial fee.

Thanks everyone for your advice!!!
