Just wondering if there are any other NY Bariatric Group patients on here. I feel we had an excellent pre-op education compared to what I have read on here. Also, I am having my first fill this Thursday and wondered how it works with their practice.

ME!! I agree completely w/you -- very thorough! Love Dr. Holover, too.

I go for my second adjustment on Wed! My first was reallyeasy - the phys. asst. (Donna, I think her name is) locates your port and injects the saline. Nothing else to say really, it was very straightforward, I personally only felt a small pinch. SO not a big deal :scared2: She was also really great about answering some questions I had.

After, Dr. Holover comes in to talk w/you for a bit, see how it's going, etc.

How's it going for you? I am so happy I did this!!

I was banded 10/5. I hope the fill goes as smoothly for me and for you this time. I did read some negative stuff on here though about the way they do the fills. It had me a little nervous. Did you drink right after to see how it goes down? Dr. Garber was my surgeon, but I met Dr. H in the hospital. (What a cutie, but the nurses aid he knows it too. LOL) Were you on liquids after fill? I love that we went home on mushies. Some of the people seem to be suffering with all the liquid before and after. I am down 21.5, but know I have been eating too much. No PB or slime, def eating more than 1/2 cup servings.....

After the fill, Donna told me to eat mushies for the rest of the day and also the whole next day.

I did not have to drink right after the fill, I know that other people on this board have to do that, but I just got my adjustment (4ccs) and that was it. I suppose they assume all will be well...?

I'm also eating too much - ugh! And w/all the Halloween candy, well it's been a very bad thing!!!

I just ate a mini KitKat and bag of mini M&Ms, just to see if I could! WTH is wrong with me????? I am a slow loser to begin with and have been doing a bit of self-sabotage this week as I get closer to the fill....

Just in case you're wondering, Butterfingers and Mounds go down easily, too!! :scared2:

And this was after I sweated my butt off at the gym on the treadmill for an HOUR -- aaaahhhhhhh!

GL on Thursday!!!!!!

Thankfully I don't like Peanut Butter or coconut. My 7 year old niece is hiding her candy, not out of greed but b/c "You can't eat that!" LOL

I hope to be cleared for exercise soon, though this has never been my strong point. One of our substitute teachers (who was my student BTW) is a personal trainer, I have to pick his brain this week if he is in.

I'll let you know how Thursday goes.GL with your fill.

Just testing my ticker

Do you know how to get profile pic to show up? I loaded one, but it is not showing.....:scared2:
