Do You Have A Name For The Process?



Recommended Posts

Many of us have names for our bands/ports (my band is GingerSnaps) because that beeeetch would quickly snap me into shape if I try to deviate. LoL.

I'm wondering if anyone has a name for the process of getting a fill? (If not, it's time you get one)

I call mine: "getting baptized"

"Tomorrow I'm leaving early. I'm getting baptized"

"I'm soooo glad I got baptized last week, I've already lost three pounds!"

GO!

I've thought about naming my band but no name ever really popped for me. Now I do have names for other parts of my body :P :o :rolleyes:

Hahaha! I'm too new to the game, and I have a love/hate relationship with my band...it's a touchy lil bastard!

I'm 2 months out. As a problem child from the word "Jump," (because my body swells more than most); I have been dubbed "a weenie" by my NP who does my fills at my surgeons office (all-in-fun of course! :lol: )

After my surgery, I couldn't keep liquids down from the swelling and was hospitalized for dehydration. I had my first fill of 4.5cc six weeks out...rrr...uhhh...wait! I didn't even make it out of the office, as the first dixie cup of Water didn't stay down. So, 1.5cc backed out; I went home and was good to go.

My second fill was 2 weeks later...adding back 1.5cc while being told by my NP that "We may have to sneak up on it." She wanted me to come back the next week for a possible small fill. Needless to say, I had to cancel that appt. for this Tuesday as I am just starting to be OK with solid foods, while paying extra special attention to eating small bites; chewing really well, and waiting 1 minute between bites. I feel that I may already be knocking on the green zone door.

The love part comes in because it IS doing it's job! I am steadily losing inches and pounds.

I will be thinking of a good name in good time! :P

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