I had my surgery on 10/18/06 and my first fill on 11/20... I wanted to have some restriction before I faced Thanksgiving.  I went to the Hurst location, and they were really nice.  The only comment that was a little odd was when I asked if I needed to take my shoes off to weigh..she said it didn't matter because they didn't care about 2 - 3 lbs.  I took my shoes off, and told her that I DID care about those 2 - 3 lbs.

 

I was pleasantly surprised at how non-traumatic the fill experience was.  I didn't "hurt" at all.  She did say that my stomach contracted as a reaction to the fill...and I had to sit awhile to see if water would go down... it did...all is well.  I guess I would say that I have a little restriction...because some things have gotten stuck in a minor way...but only when I try to eat during chaos.  If things are peaceful...all is well. 

 

My weight loss has really slowed down...but I guess with the holiday that is to be expected.  I am trying to keep up the exercise at least 4 days / week.  Realistically... should I expect 2 lbs / week?

 

Thanks
