I'm SO jealous! I can't wait for my fill! July 6th can't come sooner!! Maybe I'll call and see if they have a cancellation list, and I can get in sooner...hmmm. Congrats!

Yep, I'm in NC so I'm doing my fills here. If/when my sister comes out to see Kuri for HER surgery, I'll do a fill when I come out with her. That's down the road though.

As for my 7 1/2 inches...here's the breakdown. I measured the morning of surgery in the hotel in TJ (threw the tape measure in the suitcase!) and I measured these spots and have lost this much as of 6/2...

Arms -1/2 inch

Bust -1 inch

Bra Band -1 inch

Waist -1 1/2 inches

Abdomen -0

Hips -2 inches

Thighs -1 inch

Calves -1/2 inch

You know what? I forgot to add in my other arm, thigh, and calf. That's another 2 inches, which makes it a total of 9 1/2 inches lost off this fat ole body. Notice that I lost NOTHING from the worst part of me, which is that flabby C-section belly part, ugh.

Anyway, I'll take it! I'll even change my sig for that!

Sarah and Esmerelda, you two could share Taxi/transportation fare and go together for your fills. Save money, AND meet a Band Buddy! Fun!

I posted on Dr. Kuri's board that I was going for a fill to see if anyone wanted to go and I had a few resposes, but I have been tight since yesterday (getting closer to that time of the month) and I don't know if I want a fill now!!! I am scared!

I have a question about restriction....what does it feel like? Do you get a physical feeling with restriction? I ate lunch and since then I have pains..not horriable, throughout my diaphram area. I was thinking maybe this is restriction? Or gas....haven't figured it out yet! Any input on what restriction feels like. I had my first fill on Monday.... I have heard it is common for the fill to actually hit you a few days later too...any experience there?

Thanks for your time

TTYL

        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
