Hey RJ. Yes, I had my second fill s frew weeks ago. THIS is what I thought it was going to be like all along. My first fill was NOTHING campared to this! I really notice when I don't chew enough. Things get "stuck". It's very painful. I am eating like a bird:) When I am with people who don't know I had the surgery, I just order soup or something really soft. I am down 33 lbs! How about you? Hope all is well:) When do you get your first fill?

Glad you posted pictures of your incisions. How are you feeling? My port still hurts if I hit it next to a counter or something. I go for another fill on Saturday. I'm sure you're feeling better by now. You will improve more and more everyday. Let me know how it goes=) Good Luck!

Hi Bonnie. I too had a hard time with hunger after the fill because of the liquid diet for 2 days then the soft for another 2. Does the phendymetrozine really help? Does it make you shaky? I may have to look into that. I got the band Dec 08 and have only lost 20lbs. The scale has NOT moved in a month. I need a kick start:)
Take Care. Becky

That is B***S***! He should have given you something for the pain. Where is your port? (mine is in the belly button) I took my friend socal with me, I couldn't see or feel what he was doing but she said he was really digging around trying to find the port, the look on her face said it all. I can only imagine what that pain would have been like w/o any novacaine. After the shot wore off it was quite painful...still 3 weeks later I cringe when I lean up against a counter, or carry a box or laundry basket. I would look into this a little further, maybe demand something next time. Do you feel any restriction? I was good for a couple weeks. I need one again. Good luck:)

My insurance didn't cover the surgery. I was determined, so I paid for it myself. $$ Some insurances do cover, mine just sucked! Also, my Primary Care Doctor was totally against the surgery. Try to deal with a supportive Doctor. They have seminars often at the Apple Valley location (just off 15 fwy-Hwy 18) Also, this is the location that I will be receiving my fills. Or go to www.realizeband.com and type in your zip code to get more info.

Yes, you can totally feel it through your skin. It feels like a marble. You can't see it though. Check out the lady on the LBT home page. Her scars are giant compared to what Dr Feiz does. Obviously because he's a plastic surgeon. My scars are disappearing more everyday. Which is good because I have only told 2 people about my surgery...There will be little evidence. Plus they're quick to heal.
Apple Valley is in the High Desert (victorville area) I thought that was closer to Ridgecrest. When do you have an appointment? Is it being covered by insurance? I was a self pay, so the process was very quick. Good Luck:)

Thanks for checking in. I barely had time to heal, been so busy with the Holidays. I have been struggling with my food intake. I get my first fill Jan 7. I hope I notice a difference. I know it's not a miracle, but I was hoping I wouldn't feel hungry ALL the time....but I do:( The liquid diet sucked! Mushies are not much better. I am determined to lose at least 40lbs. by my 40th. How's it all going for you? Have you had more than one fill? Good Luck:)
