Puddin, your results look great. I also notice that you cant even see your scars from your lapband surgery. Did you do anything special? I am 3 months post op and although mine are not large they are still a bit red. If you did not do anything special how long did your scars take to lighten up? Thanks!

I felt the same way, my pre-surgery jeans did not fit for about 3 weeks until the swelling went down even though I was 10 pounds lighter.

sorry for rambling I should of put these all in one response. I ended up staying 2 nights in the hospital. I did need help for about 3 days with basics. I had drains for about a week. Had to wear a compression or special surgery bra for a few months.

forgot to add. I have never regretted having the reduction. One of the best things I have ever done. I am not too small now (C cup), scars are minimal. Very happy with the results.

I had mine about 15 years ago but I do remember I could not lift my arms up to wash my hair, face, brush my teeth for a few days. I was back to work in 2 weeks, but I was slow for a few more.

I was self pay. My surgeon does them free for the first year then they are $100 per fill after that.

I get my fills from my surgeon he is in Blackfoot. I really like him and have 2 pain free fills. I do know a few people that have been filled by Cyndi Rice. My fills are covered by my surgoen for a year and he is only 20 minutes away so I am pretty lucky.

Yes, we did meet at the get together. It was my first one as well. I had my first fill last week and then went in for my second fill this morning. I called them because I still was not feeling restriction. I am feeling a bit more restriction tonight but I am going back in 2 weeks in case I need more. I have not really lost much yet so I am hoping the restriction will kick in soon. Hope all is well you. You will have to let me know how your next fill goes. How many have you had so far?

Banded 6 weeks ago by Dr. Avila and wondering if there are others in the Pocatello area out there?
