Does anyone know if you have to have a unfil when you get cosmetic surgery? I had a breast reduction & lift prior to lapband and what was left of the girls are slowly disapearing so I'm already planning to get inplants and was just wondering about the fill. Thx in advance for your help.

Depends on Doctors involved.

Here in Ontario Canada, they believe in the total defill before any surgery.

I was told 6 weeks...........I begged and they gave me my first fill at 5 weeks. I was only filled to 4cc, despite the fact that I had been over 7 before my TT. I have had 2 subsequent fills, and I am at 5.8. I am getting another fill on Monday. I have very little restriction, and it is very frustrating right now.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
