snow princess 0 Posted March 29, 2009 Hi Molly, Sorry not to reply earlier. I cannot comment on the balloon as I do not know anything about it. I was banded on 25th January but I have not had my first fill yet, that comes on 9th March. My operation went well and I just had some discomfort for a few days afterwards but I am fine now. I am looking forward to my first fill soon. My scars are small and are healing well. They will fade in time and i would rather have small scars than one large one. There is only you can decide what is best for you. Good luck with whatever you decide. Snow princess, you are doing really well, keep it up and well done! good that you've done it! hope your 1st fill was fine and how is your weight loss! better you go to the gym to loss more and firm your body:thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Signora 0 Posted June 13, 2009 Hello mommacb, try alnoor Hospital in Abu dhabi for your fills. i am from Abudhabi but i had my surgery in emirates hospital and planning to have the fills there too.
