You will be just fine. I am the biggest wimp when it comes to needles but I have to say the person who does my fills makes me feel very comfortable and at ease. Just breath and relax when the insert the (you know what)..

Take care and let us know how it went and how you are feeling. One thing to remember don't eat after the fill.

OK so heres the weird thing...I was given this card to carry to show that I have the band and to keep track of my fills, It says I have a 4 cc band, I asked the Dr. today what size my band was ans he told me it was a 10cc....

He put in 2 cc's and said everything looked great.....

so far I do not feel ay different, how long does it take before you can tell something was done???

Oh, by the way, I HATE that barrium stuff!! if that was all I was ever allowed to have I would be skinner than any movie star has ever been...haha

Christine - Every one is different, you might need a few fills before you feel it at all. On the other hand, you might fill it immediately or three weeks down the road. For me, it took 6 fills to notice much restriction at all. Hopefully you will feel yours right away!

      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
