lawmom611 reacted to DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! in When Does A Frst Fill Happen, And What Is The First Fill Like? How Is It A Accomplished? Are Needles Involved?
When it happens depends on your specific surgeon, though usually 4-8 weeks after surgery.
Yes, it involves a needle. It's the only way to add Fluid to the band.
My fills are always no big deal. A matter of seconds then done. I never even feel the needle go in.

So far I can't see why anyone would think this is cheating! Maybe if your son went 14 days on a liquid diet, then the pain of surgery, then the thought of having to chew your food a thousand times before you can swallow, not to mention you will have diet restrictions where you didn't before, then maybe he wouldn't think it was cheating!
I said to my husband yesterday that getting the band will make me healthy which will make me live longer. I said in this day and age - what's the point? His answer to me was "watching your grandchildren grow up, get married and have babies of their own would make it worth it". Wise man

lawmom611 got a reaction from Onamissionn2013 in Surgery Was A Success!!!!
You and I have almost identical stats and goal.What you said makes a lot of sense.I have lost weight many times before, and here I am at an all time high, with sleep apnea, four herniated disks, and knee pain. If I could keep the weight off, I would have done it. aside from the health benefits,I would like to have one summer when I don't cry putting on a bathing suit... It just hurts to have this ordeal characterized as cheating. One son likened it to having an answer sheet for a test, and not putting in the effort to study! I know I need to make my own decision, but I didn't expect to have doubts this close to the surgery!
