How long after a fill did you feel restriction?
I am 5 weeks out from surgery and had my first fill 2 days ago.

Am I supposed to feel something right away or does it take a while?

Because I am able to eat (mushies) just like I was before (too fast and too much).

Will it happen or do I need another fill?

TIA

Tater

Tater,

Unfortunately sometimes it takes several fills before we feel restriction. In my experience though...a fill usually kicks in for me about a week or two later (not sure why). Hang in there...wait a bit longer and if still no restriction, give the doc a call.

hi, it may take you a few fills to feel true restriction, but every fill you get, you'll get closer...

Well the good news is that they are going to do another fill next week. My nurse said something about air in the tubing from surgery that sometimes affects the first fill.

Now I just have to control myself until then. :)

My doc schedules 1st fill at 6 weeks post-op. Your doc did not discuss this with you?

Oh if this was so easy....I wish there was a formula, but it's all random. I'm 5 Months out - just got restriction. Will Power / the Gym / and removing Temptation out of my house is what go me to this point.
Took 6 fills - May need 7, I'll know next wk.....All the best:)
