Thank you for this....Its something good to know..Lil things that can happen and make a huge problem... And WOW you look amazing !!!

I think everyone is scared that first fill....this is how mine went... nurse had me fill out a paper asking questions about my eatting..how many times a day/week/month I ate certain foods....then she weighed me ( which I had expected more of a loss) then she lead me into a lil office I sat on the table waiting for my Dr....she already had a needle and saline all set out...he came in with my paper in his hand went over it and said Ok Dee want a fill !!! and I was so ready..we talked for a lil then he asked me to lay back and pull up my shirt and down with the waistband of my streachie pants...he just did it ...and I didnt feel the needle at all.....He had me sit up....drink a lil Water as we talked some more....then I was done !!! Good Luck !

Congrats....every step gets you a lil bit closer to the prize !!!

I have gained lots...first I have so much energy to play with my kids... I have a confidance to be out in public...wich means I do so much more with my family. I have gained a closet full of cute clothes...rather then all my streachie blach pants and over sized shirts....'Ive gained the pride Im showing my family I can do something for myself...and I have gained the satisfaction of knowing I tought my kids about eatting right..( even though I can see I have lots more work to do there..LOL ) I go to school meetings and sports practices all the time now feeling so HAPPY !

I have the realize band....and took a long time to feel restriction...

And I wuv ya both.....I know how hard you are working CG....and congrats again Maddys...hugs....

Do these Jeans make my butt look big..... I think not...size 12 down from size 26 !!!!

I to still like my pasta and rice....I do find I have to eat it real slow...eggs and I still not friends...and some times tuna gets stuck if I dont use enough merical whip or relish...

I have a certain bottle that holds 4 cups of water..... I fill it first thing in the morning...then I sip/gulp all day long.... at meal times I have to move the cup out of sight so I dont sip during my meals....after 30 mins...I grab it again and drink...I get a easy 8 to 10 glasses of water in every day thanks to my favorit shake cup...I havent been seen with out it in a yr now. its my new best friend.....lol

I acually had this hapen to me....I got my first fill 5 ccs...then 4 weeks later I went back and the dr couldnt pull out 5..he did get I think it was 3.....he put what he pulled out and added more......next visit basicly the same thing....this went on for 4 fills....then all of a sudden he was able to pull it all out and now I am at 8.5 ccs and Im doing very well.....Not being able to pull any out I guess would make me freak out a lil more....good luck....

Sorry your in such a tough spot...I cant imagine the stress of wanting this so much....and doing the pre work for 8 months..... Good Luck....let us know how you make out...
