I had my 1st fill on monday-Im filled to 2.5cc and man it is a huuuuuuge difference-I ate 1/2 sandwich(at lunch) and 1/2 bowl of soup(dinner) yesterday and that was it-was totally full-today I can tolerate 3 bites of chicken salad-woohoooooooo Im gonna be skiiiiiinnnnnnnnny.

I'm SO jealous! I can't wait for my fill! July 6th can't come sooner!! Maybe I'll call and see if they have a cancellation list, and I can get in sooner...hmmm. Congrats!

Im jealous of you-youve lost 7 1/2 inches!!!I wished

Where are you guys located, I also had my surgery with Dr. Kuri??

I was thinking that same thing; I didn't have surgery with Dr. Kuri, but I'm driving down there next Saturday for a little unfill. Are we all close together?? lol

best is in NC I believe and Im in Houston

Sarah you are not that far from me!! I was going to go get a fill next Saturday but I am not sure if am after all because since yesterday I been feeling tight when I eat, almost everything comes back up!!! Do you ever go to the monthy meetings help in Orange County?? You should it really helps to get motivated!!!

Yep, I'm in NC so I'm doing my fills here. If/when my sister comes out to see Kuri for HER surgery, I'll do a fill when I come out with her. That's down the road though.

As for my 7 1/2 inches...here's the breakdown. I measured the morning of surgery in the hotel in TJ (threw the tape measure in the suitcase!) and I measured these spots and have lost this much as of 6/2...

Arms -1/2 inch

Bust -1 inch

Bra Band -1 inch

Waist -1 1/2 inches

Abdomen -0

Hips -2 inches

Thighs -1 inch

Calves -1/2 inch

You know what? I forgot to add in my other arm, thigh, and calf. That's another 2 inches, which makes it a total of 9 1/2 inches lost off this fat ole body. Notice that I lost NOTHING from the worst part of me, which is that flabby C-section belly part, ugh.

Anyway, I'll take it! I'll even change my sig for that!

Sarah and Esmerelda, you two could share Taxi/transportation fare and go together for your fills. Save money, AND meet a Band Buddy! Fun!

I posted on Dr. Kuri's board that I was going for a fill to see if anyone wanted to go and I had a few resposes, but I have been tight since yesterday (getting closer to that time of the month) and I don't know if I want a fill now!!! I am scared!

I have a question about restriction....what does it feel like? Do you get a physical feeling with restriction? I ate lunch and since then I have pains..not horriable, throughout my diaphram area. I was thinking maybe this is restriction? Or gas....haven't figured it out yet! Any input on what restriction feels like. I had my first fill on Monday.... I have heard it is common for the fill to actually hit you a few days later too...any experience there?

Thanks for your time
