@@DAWYFE & @Chez2812. Don't be nervous.... It's a piece of cake. It doesn't hurt at all. I've been having my band since November 2009. How does it feel? My doctor places a pillow under the back and that pushes the port up. He then feels for the port with his index and middle finger. Once he has a finger on either side he then inserts the needle. Checks to make sure he is in the port and inserts saline. Has me drink Water. That's it..... Done

The needle doesn't hurt at all - abdominal skin is not very sensitive, I've come to learn! It's over quickly and yes, you drink Water to see how you feel.

The first couple fills I didn't notice anything when I drank the water but at my last fill I noticed the water sat at the top of my stomach and I felt the cold filter in slowly, like a funnel. It's safe to say I'm "green" now. I advise going in on an empty stomach to see how the cold water feels.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
