I had my surgery on July 13 and I have now lost 26 lbs. I had lost 17 lbs before my first fill and since my first fill on August 29 and I have since lost 9 lbs in the past week. I had several sticks before my first fill and they are very painful. I have not had any since last week. I still do not feel like I get full though. I get hungry before 4 hrs. Guess I need several more fills before I reach my green zone. Going great though!
