Hi everyone,

Hope all of your holidays are happy and healthy. I've been so busy I haven't been around. The last time I posted I was telling you guys how I felt so restricted even without a fill. Well I got my first fill in early November and for a couple of days, maybe even a week or so, it was good but now I feel like I have no restriction at all!!!! How I came full circle I don't know. I was supposed to go back in December for my second fill but I moved it up to this Tuesday. My doc told me I may not feel restriction with the first one and his reason was because I am considered a "light weight." Ha ha. I think that's so funny. My whole life I was always the heavy girl, the biggest in my family and now I'm a light weight! Anyway, I hope I feel some restriction soon. I also hope I didn't gain weight. I've been eating more lately. Has anyone else gone through this? And if so how may fills did it take?

Between this and the holidays without my mom I'm feeling so down in the dumps.

No worries. You were probably just swollen from the first fill, very common.

Hang in there Daniela. Hugs !!

Daniela,

Hang in there. It will work. I was also a 'light' one - gosh, I love that and am losing more slowly and having to work a little more but that's okay. It took me 2 fills to get restriction and 4 to get to a good place. I'm very sensitive to fills (severe swelling, etc) so I don't want them putting in too much at any one time.

I also swell when the weather changes - bad pb last night due to wind and snow that started about 2 hours later. I am a walking weather vane.

The longer I have this tool, the more I learn about it. Have patience. Good luck. Celeste
