Ok, here it goes!!! I've waited THREE MONTHS - and now I can finally get my first fill!

For Breakfast I had two soft boiled eggs, and just now I had a yogurt. I was only told no solids for 4 hour before the fill. I am SO nervous - but I'm VERY VERY VERY excited to finally be on my way to some restriction. I know I say I have none; but that's not really true - I do have restriction, but very little. I don't know what size band I have, or any of that; but…I'll find all this out at 3:00 today! Whoooooo hooooooooooooo!

AHHHHHHHHHHH - let some more weight loss begin! hehehehe

Sherilynn, congrats on finally getting your first fill. I can't imagine waiting that long. My doctor does the first fill at 6 weeks. Good luck with it. Julie

Hi Vyolet;

Yes, my Doc filled me with 7 cc for my first fill. Are you asking b/c you got the same?

Hey Sherilynn,

No, I got 1cc yesterday for my first fill. I was asking because I did not think that docs fill over 2cc on the first time. Guess I was wrong.

How are you feeling? I know its only been a few days. Congratulations and keep up the great work with your weightloss!!!!

I just had to say I hope it went well for you...and my given name is SHERI LYNNE! I am 56! (It is unusual to see the first name spelled that way...and you are only one letter off my middle name....)....Hopefully all went well!

I had my 1st fill today its been 6 weeks. I was pretty nervous about it but I couldn't even tell when he put the needle in. I'm ready to start to loss some more weight. Could only have liquids today and then tomorrow mush. Kinda nervous about eating normal after that. Never know what to expect huh??

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
