So I'm just wondering... What is a filling????? Sounds painful!! :-(

Filling is when the Dr injects saline into your band to give you the restriction to help you feel more satisfied with less food for longer periods of time. Some ppl need multiple fills to get there and some ppl need very little or none.

It is not painful. Like I said in previous post, a little stick, like a shot and all done. The thought of it is more painful than the actual injection!

Congrats on making this lifestyle change! and welcome! you will find so much information here it' awesome!

Numbed for fills.. where do I sign up? I've had 1 fill and um.. OUCH! stuck me.. I was like.. oh not bad.. until she started pressing on my tummy and moving the needle around in there. Hitting the port but not finding the spot.. she had me do a crunch and hold... let's just say it hurt. She said the 1st is the worse and would be much easier the next time.. I sure as hell hope so! not that i can do much though because I'd have to take it regardless lol

Good Luck All!!! :)

How have you done so far. Can't wait to say I been banded two years. Congrats

I've done excellent. I'm at 163lbs & my goal weight is 150lbs. When I went to my first seminar I was 262lbs. Then chickened out & didn't have WLS. I lost a few pounds on my own & 3yrs later I decided to make changes in my life & have WLS. I'm happy that I did it. U just hang in there because it only gets better.

It wasn't a bad as I thought it would be. They numbed me I didn't feel a thing. I only got .5cc for a total of 2.5cc. Did u have one yet?

First fill was easy for me.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
