Waiting in the doctors office for my first fill! Im super excited, but nervous all the same. I NEED some restriction! 8 wks in bandster hell has brought me down. Im hoping my dr will put in at least 3cc's. Fingers crossed that they also use a numbing agent! I watched the fill process on youtube.. that is a huge needle! AHHH

Congrats on your first fill!! ;) It is exciting! And my surgeon does numb the area first before doing the actual fill. I go for my next fill in 2 weeks - can't wait!!

Well, they didn't numb it, but it was only a pinch.. totally bearable. Unfortunately they only put in 2cc's. So I have a total if 2.5cc's. :( I was hoping for more. Oh well. My next fill is in 4 weeks!

Well that's good that it wasn't painful then! You should notice a big difference with the 2 ( I think my surgeon only does them in 1 - 1.5 cc increments). I get so excited each time I schedule my next fill. Hopefully we will get it right soon!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
