I'm Stephanie, single, 41, from Long Island and banded 9/25 in Syosset. I would love to meet other single Long Islanders....

i was wondering the same thing. What does restriction feel like? I hope those of you who have found their "sweet spot" will answer. I've had one fill and am definitely NOT feeling much restriction at all.

I also notice this indentation and it is definitely where the port is..I 'm guessing its because its attached to the abdomen. If i contract my stomach muscles I can see the indent more.

I guess I'll just be crossing my fingers they find the port on the first try to minimize pain. That incision does seem to be the only tender one so I only hope. 3 days and counting til that fill. i can't wait. I decided to take a personal day and make it my "feel good fill day" and go shopping and buy a new piece of clothing even though i haven't really lost much yet. It's a celebration of immense proportion....just the fact that I went thru with the surgery and this is my life path now. I feel great with only a 12 pound loss and can only anticipate feeling better and better. this group is a great support.

I go for my first fill this Friday, Nov. 7th. I had an afternoon appt. and I changed it for the morning. I can't wait for it...these last few days I've been hungry and eating a little too much that it got me scared. So, the fill can hurt but I don't care...I want that fill so badly now. 6 weeks post seems like an eternity and I've lost approx. 12 pounds I think. I hope this fill will get me losing some more now.
