I need some encouragement, I hate fills. I've only had two but the first one went horribly.......I HATE NEEDLES!!!! I get so nervous, I feel my heart racing just thinking about it. I haven't been back to the doctor since Dec 6th, I've made several appointments but cancelled them all. Anyway I have an appointment Wed. I don't want to cancel...........:help: I think I'm also embarrassed I've lost so little weight, I tell myself when I loose 10 pounds I'll go and get a fill, well I haven't lost 10 pounds in a longggggggggggggggg time:faint:

Awww, go get the fill, it'll help you lose the weight! :party:

Seriously, tell the doc you're really afraid of needles & maybe they can be a little more gentle with you -- and make sure you don't see the scary thing!

You can do it! (( Hugs!! ))

You should get some topical numbing cream, like EMLA... then shut your eyes and tell him to do it quick!

If nothing else, you should be getting your fill BECAUSE you're not reaching that 10 lb. mark!

Go get your fill on Wed. I'm sure you'll be happy you did.

Good luck! :party:

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
