Fill 'er Up!



Recommended Posts

Well I go for my first fill in a couple hours. :clap2:

Can't wait to get it done so I can find out what it is like and to see if there is any difference but I also just can't wait to really begin the process of loosing more weight. I have stayed the same the past couple weeks and I need a push.

Lucky you. I am hardly containing myself for my first fill. April 24th is much too long. Wish I had the money to go earlier. Let us know how much they give you and how you made out sipping your Water slowly. Doddie

Well I got my fill yesterday. As I thought finding the port was difficult. I had to push up the muscles in my stomach (who knew I had those) and take in deep breaths for the nurse to get it but hey at least I know how to find it now. Anyway it wasn't as bad a I thought but I didn't really feel anything because I think I was concentrating so hard on that crazy big needle. Anyway it went well and 5 min later I was up and out of the office. No biggie.

I can feel a difference though. I just had.4 (I think) put in but last night with dinner I was full quicker and I just felt tighter digesting the food. Hopefully I will see some changes on the scale from this but I know that it can take a few fills so I am not going to go crazy expecting big results just yet. I would like my ticker to move though so cross your fingers. :P

Well I am going to wait this fill out but I have the feeling that I will be going back soon enough for another. Feeling back to how I was before the fill. Not pushing things though cause I do not want to have another bad sticky episode like a couple weeks ago.

I know what you mean. I feel a bit of restriction, but I can still eat more than I should, and I have been feeling hungry again. I already have a fill booked for April 13th so hopefully that will dial me in a little.

I would like to make another appointment but I feel like I should wait. Well I think I will give it till next wed because then it will be a week and if nothing still by then I will go back and see about another fill.

I want to hear about this "restriction" that everyone keeps talking about. :)

        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!

      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
