Hi, my name is Roxanne and I am from North Dakota. I am one month post op. I had my first fill today. I found out about this site from the nutritional counselor at the clinic. I am looking for other 43 year old females who are also at the same stage as I am. Would like to start a raport with you. So far things have gone well for me. I have managed to achieve one of my goals already. I am no longer taking prescription meds for high bp. I started with a beginning weight of 265lbs. I have lost 22lbs to date. I do have a great support at home since my husband did the surgery 2 years ago. He has lost 143lbs so far!! Good luck to each and every one of you!:wub:

Hey Roxi Congrats! I will be one month post-op on tomorrow and I will get a fill in the afternoon. I am sooooo excited my new way of life.

*How have you been doing since your fill?

*What were your instruction before your fill?

I called my doc office today and they told me to eat a light lunch and not to eat 3 to 4 hrs before my fill and to be on liquids for a couple of days then pureed for a few more then solids.

So I am awaiting tomorrow's excitement.

I just don't like throwing up so I hope that will not be a problem for me.

Well, I will go for now but I did want to say that sorry I am not 43 but I wanted to comment on your post LOL!

Good Luck

Hi, I'm also 1 month post op. Fill scheduled for 10/24. How do you feel? I feel like I can eat anything right now. I'm just waiting to feel that tightness everyone talks about. I've lost 21lbs but at times I feel like I'm starving. Best of luck to you!!
