Hello, I'm one month post op. I go in for my first fill in 2 weeks. I'm suprised I have lost 15 pounds and have not had a fill yet.
Question. Now i don't fill any restriction. Will I feel that much more restriction after my first fill... or will it feel the same as i do now.

The short answer to your question is YES. However, a lot depends on how your doctor approaches fills. Some doctors like to "creep up" on restriction, giving the patient lots of time to get used to the feeling. Others, like mine, try to go for a good level of restriction right away.

Depending on which way your doctor goes, you'll either feel not much different, or VERY different. Only time will tell. But, either way, eventually you will get to a level of restriction that will indeed curb your hunger and let you lose weight.

Congratulations on 15 lbs, and good luck with the fill!
