Yea Paula, I am doing FANTASTIC!! I actually enjoy going in for my fills. I get so many complements on how good I am looking. I don't usually get complements on how I look so now I LOVE TO HEAR THEM. I always get complements for things I do, Like fix things, for some reason I can look at something that needs fixed (electronics, furnature, etc) and fix it. So I get complemented for that and now I am getting complements for my looks. WOW ya gotta like that? LOL

No, It doesn't hurt at all. He gives me a little numbing shot first. I can feel pressure when he pushes on the port to insert the needle, but that's all. Kind of feels funny! :)

Oh my, I had no idea the needle was that big! Somehow through all this research I never got that before, I thought it was a normal needle. I have a hard time with regular needles. I am going to have to really think about this.

Terri, thanks for posting the pics. I would have passed out cold if the Dr. had walked in with that needle when I wasn't at all prepared for that. Gives me more to think about. I am a big woos when it comes to needles don't know why I just am.

Thanks for posting the pictures. I had my first fill yesterday. I made the nurse put a magazine between me and the needle - I told him if he wasn't gonna give me a tattoo I didn't want to see the needle.

I can look at the pictures of you but I could not have tolerated watching it happen to me. Thanks.

Pabandgal, some dr.'s use smaller needles. When I get my fill from a local dr, she uses a much smaller needle. With either one I do not feel any pain.

Good luck :)

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
