  1. How much does a fill hurt, if at all?
  2. about how much do you lose a month if you follow the meals, etc?
  3. how is the post op diet?
  4. ok so im going to be a senior this coming fall, and i wouldnt go to prom my junior year because i was way too embarrissed, im getting banded in July, and have high school swimming (which is about 13 hours a week plue 1-2 meets) prom is in may, how much do you think is a good idea to think i would possibly lose?:)

  1. How much does a fill hurt, if at all? Haven't had a fill yet, but I heard they don't hurt much at all.
  2. about how much do you lose a month if you follow the meals, etc? You're young, so it should come of a little faster, but we've been told to expect 1-2 pounds per week. It also comes off a little faster at first if you're BMI is higher. Since you didn't divuldge your weight, it's kinda hard to hazard a guess :)
  3. how is the post op diet? Everyone has different reactions to it. I'm doing OK with it so far. I have my moments of feeling deprived, but over all, it's doable.

It will probably be pretty close the same after the band.

Best wishes :P

      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.
