Hope it was as easy as most. Fills are not a big deal. I worried so much about my first one, now I look forward to then. I think now though I am getting close to restriction. This last fill (4th) I felt a big diffence in how I felt and how it felt to eat.

I had my first fill 2 days ago and I would describe it as totally uneventful! I literally couldn't even feel the needle going in since I still have no sensation in that area because of the incisions. (I had my lap band 4 weeks ago). I hope it goes well but I just wanted to share my experience since it was really, really no big deal. The nurse literally just did the injection and I got up and left. I feel great now and had no side effects. Best wishes for an easy fill!

Was your first fill done in the doctor's office or in radiology? I am nervous because my doctor stated my port was deep and had to be done in radiology.

Mine was done in my doctors office by the nurse practitioner. (NYU hospital in NYC which is a bariatric center of excellence -so I feel confident about the practice)

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
