Kittycat Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim2BSlim Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittycat Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphy2 Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 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!

bandgroupie Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 I was told you need a fill if you are no longer losing weight and have no restriction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mona-camille Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 You know me by now, I say, GO FOR THE FILL!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynzz Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 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.

Kittycat Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 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!!!
