hey vcompton...I was also done by Dr. Pinnar. Are you going to go to any of the support meetings?

Hope you are feeling much better. I was actually off the hydrocodene a couple days after the surgery, although I found sleeping on my back with an ice pack helped.

PM me if you'd like to get together or if you are going to any of the meetings. :)[/quote

Hi, sorry I very seldom get on this site...I just saw this message today... I have not been to any meetings....Did you have yours done by Robert Pinnar.... (the father) I did and they were great.... I feel good...I have lost like 30 pounds since Oct 12th...and could have lost more but I asked to prolong the first fill until another week...I had some discomfort in the mornings...That has gone away now...How about you....?
