MrsSmoother Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Hi everyone- I was banded on August 22, 2008 and got my first fill toady. Can anyone give me any feedback on how it should feel? I think I could feel when the saline was injected (3cc, I was completely empty before) I felt a little squeeze and now nothing. It didn’t stop me from eating lunch or anything... Is this normal? I guess what I am saying is taht Idont feel any restriction. Is this normal? Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julieburns Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 First fill can be very disappointing. It took me maybe 4-6 days to fell the slightest bit of restriction, that lasted maybe 2 weeks and then nothing. This is more the norm. I think people think the first fill will make a difference and from what I have read it's the exception to get good or any restriction on the first fill. give it some days though and you might be surprised.

Kittycat Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Mrs. Smoother, you may have some restriction when on solids...but I think by the time your two week follow up appointment, you may need another. Good Luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
