back for a little adjustment fill



Recommended Posts

After a bumpy couple years where I had way too much PB nearly daily, repeated exams to evaluate potential problems, and blessed resolution from a Life of Slime by largish decrease in fill, I went 6 months ago for a VERY slight fill.

Produced a little benefit with only a slight uptick in Battle for Freedom from Slime. The effect on the dreaded Hunger Beasts roaming my belly at will, was mild and pleasing all in all. There is a very delicate balance between the too much/not enough point in my Band.

Now it is time to again do a slight upward adjustment. Takes most of the day to drive in to the Jaws of Hell, endure the wretched traffic, wait patiently for the pleasant PA to attend my 30 second procedure, and escape from the city again.

Back from my fill appt.

Down SEVEN pounds since last visit in January!!!!

Up 0.1cc in Symbiant, my Little Angel of the Silicon Fist....

now at 1.6 in 4.00 cc band

The most I've ever been able to tolerate was 1.7 and that left with major complications and morbid symptoms.

So cheers to me.

Now for liquids/mushies for the next 4 days.

Good to see you staying in top of it. I had a fill today, first since December. I keep mine on the loose side, but it's started being too loose. I saw surgeon las April 1 and am down 8 lbs since then. Here's to us:)

Wow Jack! Great loss! Where did you have your band done because my doctor says they don't make the 4cc band anymore. My band is a 10 and I think they go as high as 14cc?

I am also ready for a teeny tiny fill.......calling tomorrow. It's been obvious, but I wanted to give it a few weeks to be sure it wasn't just me being restrictive or rewarding -- the two halves of my psyche. So happy for you -- and seven pounds, yee ha!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
