I have had 3 fills and I have 7.5cc in my 10cc band. Unfortunately, I'm not at the sweet spot yet, I can still eat a lot. But I have lost around 37lbs total so far and I'm happy with that! Good Job Guys!! :thumbup:

:thumbdown: Eileen, I'm so so sorry about your experiences. Just hang in there. Someone will be able to help you. What does your surgeon say?

Eileen, I'm so sorry about your experience!! I had a great experience. They sprayed a numbing solution on my skin so I didn't feel the needle go in, and they did it in front of the xray so they could see liquid going through the band. I have 6cc's in and I have never had any trouble with it at all. Hopefully you will get a better nurse this time!!

My fill went fine also. I got to watch the liquid go through the band in my stomach on the xray machine. That was pretty cool. I got 6cc's!!! should_be_working, I live in Franklin, which is between Dayton and Cinci, so yes, we are pretty close to Mason!

I get my first fill tonight, I'm sooo excited!!!!!

I get my first fill at 4 weeks.

I was asked which one I preferred and I said I didn't care. I didn't know until after my surgery, but he used the Realize band in me.

Congrats and welcome home.

Congrats on your decision and motivation Jason. I pray that all goes well for you and you are able to lose as much as you want!! We will all still support you!! We are all in this weight loss journey together and there are many different ways to get there. Good Luck!!!

Speaking of tatoos, I have a purple rose on my lower right side of my abdomen. From 3 pregnancies and all this weight it is all stretched out and has stretch marks through it. (My sister tells me it looks like a rose bush instead of a rose.) I'm hoping with all this weight loss it will shrink and look halfway normal again. :hurray:

MissK, glad to hear from you!! Hope your stay in the hospital is uneventful and that you can come home soon!

I've been drinking the Isopure also. The only one I've tried is the Grape Frost. It isn't terrible. Of course, it's my first day post op so I haven't had it enough to hate it yet.

The cost of my surgery includes 2 years of after care. That is one of the reasons I went with this Surgeon. I really like him!!

Thanks guys! I'm actually feeling better. I wonder if the gas was making me feel nauseous instead of actually being nauseous if that makes any sense. I feel like I have a lot of pressure around my sternum. YAY! I'm so excited to join the Band wagon!!

I'm home after my surgery. Everything went fine and dandy. I actually have the Realize band and I had the "single" insision. The only trouble I"m having right now is that I'm really nauseous. But hopefully that will go away soon!
