starting again

I just had my first fill and he did'nt numb the area. I feel like I got shot. That is the worst feeling. I hope it gets better from here out.....OUCH! He put 4and a half cc's in for my first fill, he tried to do 5cc's but it was too tight..Wow I go back in a month and im not looking forward to this.

Your faux stained glass is beautiful. Did you paint it or is it an applic

Please tell me how you felt during your fill and how you feel now that you had your fill. Do you feel restriction? I go Monday for my first fill

I wasen't filled at surgery either and im fighting everyday to eat the 4 oz 5 times a day. It's so hard. I feel like I went through the surgery for nothing...

I too feel this way. I have not had a fill yet nor was my band filled at surgery. I am starving always. My surgery was Dec 23, 08 and my first fill is Jan 26, 09. I hope it will help. I have only lost 11 lbs and I walk 2 miles 5 days a week UGH!

WOW. How exciting. I was banded on Dec 23, 2008. I could'nt believe the neck and shoulder pain. Mine took about 2 weeks to go away..Good luck to you and welcome aboard

How exciting. I live in Palmdale Ca. and I was banded on Dec 23, 08 and im so excited for you...When is your big day?

Hi. Have you had your surgery yet? If not what is the date? Im so excited for you. I remember waiting for the date, not knowing if my insurance would cover it and then finally being blessed with the life altering surgery.. I have not had a fill yet, but im very excited about that day..Write to me anytime. Good luck

I hope your feeling better. How is the diet going? Mine is getting better. I noticed im tighter in the morning sometimes, but nothing I can't stand. I have nothad a fill yet, but looking forward to begining that phase of my new lifestyle. Take care and im here when you need to talk

I am 5'11" and my current weight is 240. I have lost 12 lbs. since the surgery. Im so excited for you. Please keep in touch. It's nice to have someone to talk to that has gone through the same thing you are...Good luck with the surgery. I'll be thinking about you...Bonnie

I too am feeling discouraged. I was banded on dec 23,08 and had hoped to have lost more than 9 lbs post surgery....Its a slow prosess, but I have a lifetime..

I was banded the same day as you and have lost 7 lbs. I had hoped to have lost more, but its just hanging on even though I walk hills 2 miles a day 5 days a week....Im a little discouraged...

I am 5'11" and my starting weight was 252... The first time my husband ever knew I was that weight was in the hospital when the nurse announced it..I was so imbarassed even though he didn't care it really imbarassed me...How are you?

good luck. I just had mine Dec 23, 2008
