I was just going to suggest if you can't wait to do a breast implant rather than a lift. I had implants put in 6 years ago (pre gaining 100 pounds) and researched a ton. A lift was almost as much and the results still 'sagged' for lack of better a word. You'll need something more solid to hold em up! I'm hoping when I lose the weight my implants still hold up well, so far so good but I'm only down around 30 so far.

I started soft food that early. With no fills I doubt as long as you chew good you'll get anything stuck. I never got anything stuck until my band was tight, then you KNOW when it's obstructed believe you me.

This is what I went through last week and I went back and they took only a small amount out and it made all the difference in the world. I'm not losing 8 pounds a week like I did the week before when it was too tight but I am still losing and I feel so much better. I'd go back and have the Dr.'s take a look. I know it's scary that you may not still lose but if they take some out, they can always put a little in at a time to get you to the proper 'sweet spot'.

I looked on Dick's sporting good store and didn't see them on the site at all. Are they only in the stores? I have one of the coupon books that I could use.

I still think I need about another 25 pounds until I get there... sigh...

I have about 8cc in a 10cc band. I had 8 12cc in after 3 fills but went back for an unfill of 1/2 a cc. I still think I need just a tad more, it's amazing how much just a little makes a difference.

I waited about 2 weeks, until my port area was completely healed. Listen to your body, if you feel fine enough than go for it. :w00t:

I had surgery on Friday and went back to work on Tuesday, that Tuesday was tough but by Wednesday I was fine. I have a desk job so I just made sure I got up and walked around more than usual.

I ate those and saltine's with fat free butter spray during mushie stage. I thought they were god sent, it felt so good to actually chew something by then.

Thanks everyone. I went to see the Dr. today and she took only a slit amount of fill out and OMG did it make all the difference in the world. I can now eat 1 cup and keep it down and best yet feel full! The band looked great she said so now I don't have to worry about that thank goodness.

I had my third fill two weeks ago I now have 8.5cc in a 10 inch band and the 21st will be 3 months since surgery. They were aggressive because I'm self pay and only have 3 months free fills and I was fine with that. The first week after the last fill I could eat almost anything but only a small portion. Although I managed to gain almost five pounds.... (damn halloween candy) Then all the sudden I can't eat anything without throwing it up. I've lost 8 pounds in the last week. I'm doing just Protein shakes and liquids now. I called to get in for a slight unfill but I'm scared it will take the restriction I need away. If it's too full why could I eat fine the first week and now not any more? Could it have slipped?

3 months of free fills. She's aggressive too which I'm happy about because it's $250 a pop after that.

I was self pay and paid 16,900 with only three months of follow up..
