I had my first fill today :wink:! I'm so happy to have finally gotten one! I got my surgery in MX and the only place that does fills around me was SO busy.

The experience didn't really hurt other than the prick. I was expecting it to take 2 seconds, but when she told me it would be over in 30 seconds I kind of panicked but it was over before I knew it. I was mostly just super grossed out by the huber needle that was sticking into my body. I never even looked because I knew I would freak out, but I could really feel it in there and it was just plain gross. It was kind of like going to the gyno - doesn't really hurt but the whole time you're just squirming and praying for it to be over.

I only got 1 cc and the max for my band is 4cc's. The doc said most people with my band find their sweet spot somewhere around 2, which is awesome because I'll need less fills. She told me that I would most likely be disappointed with this fill. I told her that I wanted her to put enough so I would be happy, but she said that erosion and other nasty things can occur by filling up too quickly and not letting your body adjust. So I made an appointment in 2 weeks.

Right after I went to lunch and had a bowl of Soup and I was soooo full. It was awesome! Even if this fill doesn't work, at least I know what it CAN feel like.

  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? 🤷‍♀️
