Sounds good to me ~ I'd love to get together!

Fills don't hurt at all. I get mine from Dr. Haag, which isn't the same as Dr. Fiallo, but can't be that different. He has you lie down, then crunch up, lifting shoulders off the table so that he can get/feel your port. Then he injects the needle, you relax and lay back down, and about 30-40 seconds later it's all over! I've been for 6 fills so far ~ I have the VG Band, and it seems to be taking awhile for me to get to my sweet spot. I'll be there again Monday, hoping this is the "one!"

Don't worry about fills - they really don't hurt. All you feel is the initial bite of the needle, like a blood test! And I'm the biggest weenie there is!

Happy Easter All of my friends.

Well I am going to set up a luncheon for all of us that would like to get together and meet and talk. But I do need to know where everybody lives so I can pick a local place for everyone. If anybody has any ideas on a place email me at Mel61670@charter.net and I will send out an post to everyone and let you all know when and where. Probably a saturday afternoon or evening give me some feed back on what is good for everyone.

Have a great day.

Howdy folks, Hope you're all doing well. Got my first fill this past Wednesday and I've had a golfball in my chest twice already. This morning it was terrible. 2nd day on mushies and thought ok I'll try scrambled egg. Well my body said THAT'S NOT MUSHIE lol. After two bites that I chewed and chewed really well the golfball started. The dang thing seemed to grow and grow and hurt more until UGH I threw it up. First time I"ve thrown up since I've been banded. Ewwwwwww. Needless to say Easter dinner was mashed potatoes with lots of gravy, mashed sweet potatoes and squash. I was perfectly fine with that after that LESSON lol. I didn't think I was tight but, wowza my band let me know it hahaha. I've lost 4 more pounds since Wednesday sooooooo that's cool.

I hope you're all doing well and shrinking! I'd be willing to meet up if you folks decided to. I'm about 40 min South of Boston.

Sorry guys, I can't go that weekend (but don't reschedule b/c of me). I have a bridal shower for a family member, my son's 7th bday party (at my house) and a gymnastics show for my youngest son. Not even sure I can do all that so lunch in Worcester wouldn't really work :eekB:

Sorry guys I have been busy with some stuff around home and not able to put the time into putting this thing together. The picadilly pub sounds great if the first weekend does not work how about the 2nd? I would like to try to get this thing started and continue to do it every month or every other month. The same day (like 2nd saturday of the month) meet and do lunch and compare notes and stories, up's down. Ok lets say 2nd saturday of June which would be June 10th we will say 1:00.

Email me at mel61670@charter.net to let me know if you are coming due to I know the owners wife and I will have her let them all know the head count. So if everyone can let me know by june first that would be great. Hope this date works for everyone.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
