After of months of waiting ( my own choice ) I have an appointment at TLBC on Jan 26th. I am so excited !

I do have a question, what is a fill with Fluro ?

Yasmina :eek: :nervous

Gaffer I'm not sure of the answer to that but I had my second fill on Thursday and I have no restriction yet:mad: .....so it truely is different for everyone.

That is frustrating, hopefully it will all work out for you soon. I was kinda suprised that they only put in 1cc, but now I am glad that they did not go for more.

Are you feeling any improvement over before you were filled?

Andrew

I thought that I would feel some restriction after the first, and I did for about a min. Now nothing ! I have 4cc in now, how much will they put in on Friday ? '

Yasmina: I had 5 cc at the first fill and 1.5 cc at the second. I go for my third on Wednesday, Apr 18th, and a friend said I'd get 1 or 1.5 this time.

My experience is that I'm not that restricted IMMEDIATELY after the fill, but a few days later it seems to kick in. Then, after about 10 days I start feeling hungrier and have less restriction. Also, I'm a night-time snacker and I've noticed that I have less restriction at night than I do in the morning. In other words, I have some habits to change.

:hungry:

Tres Chic i am very tight when i wake up too. I am a shift worker and it takes a few hours for me to eat anything. I only have 3.5 cc in after having 2 defills.

well I started with 5cc but needed a 1cc defill. I hope I get 2cc and I am able to drink water.

Gaffer to answer the question, no I wish I felt something, any indication the band was acturally in there would be nice (I have the scars to prove something happened). I now have 5cc in the 10 cc band and the person who does my fills said often people don't feel much until 7 or 8 cc's,so I'm trying to be patient and remember the post Yoda had in a few days ago about not rushing things, the trouble is I was so "up" for the first while after surgery and now unfortunitly I'm falling back into some of my bad habits from before....I need to get some of my earlier excitment back and to get disiplined again.

It is hard to keep that momentum going, I know what you mean. That has been the undoing of all my previous attempts.

Hang in there. Your time will come and you will be off to the races.

I feel the same way astrotoes !

Sounds like us February Bandsters are having a bit of a struggle right now. Let's keep our eyes on the prize and hope for that 'sweet spot'.

good advice !

Just came from having my 3rd fill so I'm on fluids today. I didn't lose any weight in the last two weeks (since my 2nd fill), which was a little disappointing. Nevertheless, I'm feeling positive. I'll let you know how this fill goes once I start eating again.

Oh man, I'm so jealous.... no loss in 2 weeks?! Try 2 months! GAH! Sorry.... just frustrating.

I agree Argon.I haven't lost for a few months either'

Hi: Feb. seems to be a tough month. I will know "officially" on Monday what I have lost. Not more than three lbs since surgery I would think. Yippeeeeee! Must be a record. Doddie

Lori and Argon... you have both lost enough to be at a plateau for 2 weeks! I'm guessing "fluids" after my fill didn't mean a DQ Blizzard...

:embarassed:

Doddie: You and I had surgery the same day at TLBC. Have you had 3 fills now?

Hi Tres Chic: No I wanted my first fill to be in TO but couldn't affort the tickent until now. Will be on Monday, will have the first fill April 24 at 1:30 pm. I do have some restriction with the mid band but suspect I need a bit more. How has your fills been. Doddie
