it is quite common to be tight until noon time. If you are losing and want to live with that this is okay, otherwise you need a slight unfill. How much can you consume at once?

Michelle, if you have a hard time getting in 1-2 oz I wouldn't get a fill. Make sure you are eating plenty of solid protein. If you can't get that much in you are too tight. You may want to get a slight unfill .2 or .3. Good luck.

My Brother is a raging alcoholic. The only thing that has helped him is the antibuse. It is worth a try. Good luck.

Hi Karey, I'll have to research it. Sounds like it is far less invasive.

Karey, thanks for the post. I have been a little upset about my abdomenal fat. I can pinch an inch on my upper stomach. He is going to charge me $3k to repair. But then it makes me think "where will the extra skin go". I hope the lippo works. I have to wait until October. Wish me luck.

Thanks, its now 6 weeks since surgery. Overall I am pleased however I still have some upper abdomenal fat that is driving me crazy. I am thinking about a tummy tuck revision in 6 months already. No pics yet.

I saw Dr. McKeen today and he said it was more expensive to see Mexican patients. I believe the fills are close to $500 each. Hope this helps. Julie

Dr. Robert McKeen at South Bay Bariatrics takes Mexico patients. He is $200 a fill. Wonderful surgeon. Good luck.

Sounds like you are okay. Some doctors do recommend an endoscopy every year. I would call and see if you can get ahold of your doctor just to let him know everything is okay and see if he wants to see you. Good luck.

2 weeks apart.

If you can't get down at least a couple oz of solid protein you are too tight. I would start with .3 cc out. Good luck.

4 hours is just about right. If you are starving though you need a fill. Good luck.

So sorry to hear about the delay. I am glad they found this out as oppose to having problems in surgery. Good luck getting rescheduled.

How much is the program fee? Can you use a credit card? I wouldn't pospone the surgery for sure.

I can really tell in your face. Good job!

I would give it some time. She definitely is jealous.

Hi Dr. Shulman, I had a tummy tuck on 4/21. The surgeon did lippo too. I still have quite a bit of upper abdomenal fat. Is this common after a tummy tuck? I can't have lippo revision for 6 months. The swelling has gone down all that it will so its not swelling. Julie

What you are experiencing is reflux. Reflux is definitely a sign of being too tight. I would get .3 removed and go from there.

What you are experiencing is normal given the fact you haven't had a fill yet. You will feel better once you start to get fills. Good luck.

It is a sign of being too tight. If you can't take Prilosec and it doesn't help you will need a slight unfill. I would start with .3ccs. Good luck.

Steph, I am not sure if I'm happy with my tt nor not. I do still have some upper abdomenal fat. I know you said you have the same. My pannus is completely gone however. If I were to take my hands and pinch the fat on my abdomen I can gather probably 1 1/4 inch still. How much do you have? I am thinking about a lippo revision in 6 months. It will cost me $3k.

That is totally ironic. I am really glad you were able to take that. It is so worth it. Good luck!

Apry, girlfriend, you are too tight! I can bet my life on it. I would get a slight unfill of .3 or something along those lines.

Hi there. Restriction is a really sticky subject. I would get a fill if a. you are hungry within a couple hours b. can't lose weight c. have no restriction. With good restriction you really can't eat more than 1/4 to 1/2 cup of food at a time. Good luck finding the right level. It takes months sometimes.
