October 2012 Bandsters

  • Popular Post

Hi everyone, I'm starting this because we are mid way through the month so I'm guessing about half of us have had the procedure done. The October Bandsters thread has been really great with all the positive comments, suggestions and support. It would be great to keep that community going.

I'm two days post surgery. My pain meds are working fine. The surgery was easier than I expected and I hope the recovery keeps going as well.

How is everyone?

Great results!

Well, just got home from my first fill! Wasn't bad at all. They numbed the area and only had to stick me once. I felt the difference when I did a water test.

Congrats to everyone on their fills...it's so much better! Here's hoping you hit the green zone!
