Just alittle nervious going in for my fill as I will be going in heaver then last time but I will endure his most likely smart comments but I have a excuse and not a cop out.I am trying to see this as a positive sign and move forward to my count down to be below 200 lbs. Did see my other surgeon for my shoulder today and he told me my progess is not where he expects it and told me in a month if I do not get much better I will have to go back in surgery and have them breck up the adhesions,OUCH!!! He did give me a cortizone shot in my shoulder to help with the swelling and log jam so to speck my shoulder is in. Wish me luck SO SO NERVIOUS LISA

Well went in for my fill and it went well he wanted to do it under fluroscopy but I convinced him to do a tiny fill of 2 cc I was 212 in his office fully clothed but i think nekkid I am 209.So my fill is 4.1 cc in 4 cc band Pretty tight Told him next time u will see me I will be below 200. He told me I just have lots of excess skin and said I do not see much more fat EXCCEPT TUMMY u can lose maybe at most 30 more pounds and the rest is just alot of excess skin, he has revised his skin removel to possibly 40 lbs he said oh that is right u almost were 300 lbs and he said for every over 120 lbs weight loss u can expect to lose up to 40 lbsOF SKIN , HE SAID I keep forgetting u had 9 kids and a set of twins and that their alone streches the skin and does not go back. SO I AM RECHARGED AND FEEL I AM BACK ON TRACK Lisa

I'm so excited you you Lisa! It's a good feeling to feel "back on track". I never heard of the excess skin thing. Maybe that's my issue eh? I only have 35 lbs till I reach the goal I want.. and I've been at 210 forever now. But I'm going to start walking again and see if that can't start kick starting the weight loss again. I'm so happy for you... keep up posted. -Shakeira

Lisa, it sounds like you are doing SO well! My mom got a lapband and just had her first fill-she's doing great so far. I'm glad to hear that you are right on track-that's so interesting about the apron measurement-that makes me feel better, because my stomach is still HUGE and I'm sure at least 25lbs is skin. It's a mess.

Lisa that is great news! I am so happy to hear you are feeling energized and back in the saddle!! I do want to ask you how a cortizone shot feels in the shoulder and tell me the truth I am a total weenie but I suspect that will be the next step. I had the MRI on thursday and once they see if it's a tear and how bad it is, then she said she'd send me to an orthopedic surgeon and get me a cortizone shot. the pain is unbearable. i take tramadol at night to get through the night, but last night i had to take 100 mg instead of 50. and I don't want to grow dependent on that either. i hate pills, but i hate shots more (go figure, tattooed and all, haha) inky

Very little pain at all he numbed it and was over and done real fast. Shot needle was done in back so I could not see the needle go in. Unfortunutly the shot was a waste of a pefectly good needle, My shoulder is not recovering very well. Doc told me could take 10 days to get some pain relief and so far i have not notice anything. I think I just waited to long to get my shoulder repaired and now I am paying the price. My surgeon will not give me a shot tell my shoulder was repaired He told me giving a shot in a damaged shoulder is NOT A GOOD IDEA because it can further damged the soft tissue in the shoulder and make the shoulder unrepairable. I just have alot of adhesions in my arm socket that they need to breck up under anathesia. Seems that is the next step in my shoulder repair, Mind u I HAD EXTENSIVE shoulder repair then most Had screws to hold the graphing of the tendion to anchor the torn off rotar cuff, sewing of a tendion and bone spur removed Shoulder repair is not a quick easy thing it is a life altering event, I do not have the pain like I had before and after surgery it just hurts alot when I move it now. Would I do the surgery again? answer to that is the pain is gone but my shoulder is not fully functional so the verdict is out Sucks getting old LOL Lisa
