  1. My doctors states not to eat solids 2hs fill. After fill be on liquids for 3 days, soft/mushy foods for 3 days and then go back to solids.
  2. A lot of ppl tell me that. I have experienced it myself. I have to drink like decaf coffee or warm tea normally does the trick for me.
  3. Cannot eats solids2 hrs prior to getting your fill
  4. When he tried it the first time and I had to drink that chalky stuff it will like it was leaking it wasn't taking after positioning me and rearrange of how he was inserting the needle in me and inserting two additional cc it was finally taking
  5. I just had (literally) within 30 min ago my first fill and it's 5cc is that too much. At first my doctor tried 3 but it wasn't taking, so after positioning me 5 times, he added 2more cc and it took. My concerns are will it be too tight. Scared to death. Please anyone calm my nerves

  8. Has anyone experience this during post op? It feels like something is stuck?
  9. Ate you still sore? I have mines on 11/8. And I am so scared
  10. I think you will get approved for it, especially wit your health issues I honestly did lose any weight until after I was approved. It took bout a month to get it back. Call your insurance company and keep checking up wit them. I found out through them first before I found out wit my doctor office. Good luck and keep me posted
  11. I have Aetna and they approved me the first time my doctor office submitted it. They gave me no troubles. I was scared because I didn't lose weight during my 6 months. I have mild high blood pressure so I don't kno if they based it on that. My surgery is 11/8/12. Good luck
  12. I am also on the 8th as well! Good luck!
