I know your fill is tomorrow...so bonne chance!!! We'll all be rootin' for ya.

I know it will go well. Be sure to come back and let us know.

....and....don't take a demerol beforehand, silly girl!!! You don't need it!

Good Luck Green!! Hope you get the restriction you want. Let us know!!

Thanx for the support, eh. I'll fill you in on all the gruesome details.

Don't even look at anything, and you'l be fine. I've seen the needle, but never seen 'em put it in!

and yeah, good luck!!

Good Luck Green. Let us know.

Well, I have just returned from having my first fill. I did take one of their Demerol because I am a sissy. This turned out to be a blonde move on my part because I didn't need it, but then I am a blonde! I was given 5cc and told to drink four paper cups of water from their water cooler. I began to salivate half-way through the first cup. The water felt like it was sitting in my esophagus and it simply wasn't going to move. I wanted to sick it up but couldn't and I wanted to burp. I finally did this and felt much better. After all this personal drama I came out of the washroom and asked that the nice lady remove one cc of the fill. I was able to drink after that.

I also discovered that I lost 13 lbs over the past 6 weeks. Yippee!!!!!! Green is very happy about that. I hope that I can keep this up.

While I was there I met some nice women and found out that some of them are still tender in their port sites, too.

My next fill appointment is on October 31st.

CONGRATULATIONS GREEN, 13 LBS. YOU ROCK!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Way to go Green on your weight loss

And you see you are not such a sissy after all, you are braver than you thought you were, :eek:

Maria:)

Thanx for your kind words. That missing 13 lbs sure does feel good!

I kinda wish I hadn't got my fill today, though. We have a French guy staying with us and I am gonna be on liquids for the next 24 hours. I don't want to get into explanations for this. He is here for a conference and I am hoping that he won't be home for dinner tonight. Then I will be able to drink my soup in peace.

He is, like all the French people I know, extremely slender and can eat like a wolf. I want one of those metabolisms when I grow up! Oh, well....

Congratulations on your weight loss Green. All that worrying on the fill for nothing lol.

Great work Green!!!

I hope you can enjoy some french food soon!! Just a little is still yummy!!!!

And french food is my downfall!

Banded April 4th 2006 (Montreal)

Fill June 9th 2006

I think it is too late for you and me Green to have fast metabolisms, but then i do not think i ever had one, even when i was younger,maybe a shot with the laser would speed us up, what do you think? LOL

Hope you get to enjoy your Soup in peace.

The TLBC booked three appointments for fills before they sent me home from the hospital after the operation. Each of these appointments is roughly 2-3 weeks apart. The last one is mid-November.

The weird thing is that I am starving right now. I have never been this hungry since the operation. I could eat my cat.:paranoid I am smoking far too many cigarettes because I am that hungry! This is really bad!:help:

Knew you could do it Green!!! Yay.....for you!!
