I received my 2nd fill July 2, 2007, I am now at 2.2cc. I can definetely tell I am restricted. I had to do clear liquids for 4 days instead of just 2.  I have to be careful and really chew, chew, chew. I can only eat about 1/3 cup. I wasn't losing before but now I have already lost 7 pounds since this fill, Yahoo!!

I had my first fill 5.14.07. I had to go to Pocatello, I live in Kuna, to get my fill because I went to Mexico for my LB surgery. The nurse practicioner was very nice, very knowledgable. I received 1.5 cc. She usually only puts in 1 cc but I drank the water and could drink more so she added .5 cc more. So far so good. I have lost 36 pounds since the beginning, I am excited.

I had my LB surgery 3/24/07 in Mexicali, Mexico and everything went great. Everyone was so right about how you are treated. Ernesto picked me up at the airport with 4 other gals. We were treated like Queen's and Dr. Aceves, Dr. Campos, Yolanda, Lucy, Sergio, and more were the best. They are the best doctors I have ever been too. I hope to go back for fills just so I can see them all again. I am on liquids for 2 weeks and it is tough, but I am somehow making it through. I can't wait till I came have regular food. Just a bite of normal, non liquid food.

My story is alot like the one's I have read on this website. I have been heavy all my life, tried every diet out there from diet pills to weight watchers. I just can't see to keep it off. My neice had RNY last year and has done super, she has lost over a 100 lbs. She looks great. I want to do the same. I am self pay because my insurance won't cover it do to my employer!! I am looking to go to Mexico.
