Just got my second on today. It was very easy, not painful, I didn't feel anything..... I think we scare ourselves more than we need to.... we already did the "painful" part! good luck

Hello, This is my first time writing, I have been reading about everyone. Ya'll have given me such great insights and advise, I feel excited and more positive when I finish reading about everyone and the progress..... I'm so proud of all of ya'll and it makes it easier to be proud of myself.. I was banded 8-21-06 in mx. Great experience.. I have healed with no problems I started out at 225 now I'm at 204 and I'm feeling so good about myself... I like looking in the mirror again....lol I will have my first fill Mon. the 16th I'm sooo ready.... I have been able to eat more lately so the extra restriction will be great...:clap2: well I just wanted to say hi to everyone and I can't wait to start chatting with ya'll.... Carol:)

you go girl.... won't it be wonderful when we get to the place where we are so happy with ourselves everyone will notice.... not just because we lost weight but, from the glow of us loving who we have become..... Keep up the good work... its a shame people really can't see the "inside" of what a wonderful harding person you truly are... and when they do you'll be long gone from the place your stuck in, to the new adventures of your wonderful new life.... good luck

Thank you for the reply. I have been reading the amounts everyone has gotten and was wondering do you get to choose how much fill or does the doctor? this will be my first time with this doctor since I had my band put on in mexico. So he knows nothing about me and since is my first fill I'm not sure how to "act"..... at $350 a pop I want to get my money's worth... lol thanks Carol

I'm having mine done in the afternoon. Do you have to "fast" before a fill? or can I have Breakfast and can I drink Water before the fill? Thanks for the help and I just wanted to say that reading all the post I have been helped so many times and encouraged by everyone's stories.... Everyone keep up the good work.... and one pound at a time... it does add up!!! carol </TD></TR><TR UNSELECTABLE="on" hb_tag="1"><TD style="FONT-SIZE: 1pt" height=1 UNSELECTABLE="on"> </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
