Congrats! You look fabulous!!!

I have lost a total of 39 pounds and I am happy. I was at a standstill for while, but with my last fill (3rd fill), things seem to be moving along.

The day of surgery I was not weighed

I am finally feeling restriction! When I first got the fill I felt the same but now when I eat I actually get full. I have lost 3 more pounds. I am so excited hope this feeling lasts

Thanks for the replies Juliansmom, you have given me some hope

No my surgeon has not done any of my fills under fluoro. Is that something you ask for them to do? Do you think it is better to get fills under fluoro?

To be honest I don't even know how many cc's I have, he never tells me and I haven't asked. At the next appointment I will make sure to ask him. I just get so discouraged, the scale goes up and down, but its between the same 3 pounds.

I had my 3rd fill on 12/6/2010 and I dont feel any different, I have not felt a difference with all 3 fills, is there something wrong?

Hi to be honest I have no restriction what so ever, I have read on here that it could take weeks to feel the restriction after a fill, but as of now I am so hungry and I still can eat the same amount if not more.

I did it without the numbing spray and I still found it easy and painless. Sagreenia my port site is still a little tender and I was fine, you will be fine too, there is nothing to worry about.

I just came back from getting my first fill and to be honest I was scared for nothing. It was painless. I just jumped up on the table and laid down, my doctor pushed down too see if he could find my port and he couldnt feel it so he made me do a crunch and then he put the needle in, I didnt even feel it. He put in 2 cc's. I drank some water it went down fine and I was good to go. So for those of you that are worried don't be.

I had surgery on July 13, 2010 and I went from a size 10 to a size 8 1/2

I did end up having my surgery with Dr. Randall on July 13th and I feel great. I havent had a fill yet because he is going on vacation and he doesn't want to give me my first fill before he leaves incase of any complications, so now I have to wait till September 15th.

Hi everyone I am from Somerville, Ma and I was just banded on July 13th by Dr. Randall @ Lawrence Memorial Hospital...I am doing pretty well, I have lost 24lbs so far.
