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!

I was thinking that same thing; I didn't have surgery with Dr. Kuri, but I'm driving down there next Saturday for a little unfill. Are we all close together?? lol

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

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
