I don't feel skinny yet. I still have 20 pounds to lose and have been on a plateu for 10 months. I need a fill but have a vacation planned in Hawaii in 3 weeks so have put the fill off until I get back.

Thanks Amy I really appreciate that. I'm getting more nervous the more I think about it.

We were all as worried as you seem to be. The week will go by very fast, just get plenty of juices on hand and take care of yourself for a few weeks after. I was really tired and needed lots of rest. I went back to work in 5 days but could have used a few more days rest. Get out books you want to read and movies you want to watch. Good Luck.

Hi everyone,

I'm from Utah...well not from but I have lived here for the last 15 years. I was banded march 12 and I had my 2nd fill yesterday and I am a little sore, but it could be from the disaster at my Salon last night... toilet exploded! So on hands and knees scrubbing and cleaning up crap, literally and whatever else and had to pay a plumber!

Anyway today will be better, I'll be on liquid in AM and soft foods until tomorrow. but I have lost 30 lbs and hope to loose more with my latest fill, 1st one didnt do much so now I have 1.4cc I look forward to getting to know you all!

Welcome to our group, you will find that with this fill you should have more restriction. You have done well.

how is it after 2 years? - friend of mine had it done in Texas last summer and he still hasn't had a fill which I think is kinda weird because I'm looking forward to it a little bit

Some people just have more restriction. I have two friends who have lost large amounts of weight with no fills at all. I am still struggling with the last 20 pounds.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
