I'm 3 months post op and no fill yet surgeon says I'm doing great. But I still want one. Ahhhhh! We shall see in anothe month. 0.o

You will see results by a week. I lost 22lbs by my 1st follow up which was 6 days after surgery .

Ooo wowwwww lol

Also sugar free Popsicles were my best friend,you still get that texture like real food but your getting fluids in.

Ya totally the gas trying to work it's way out. I remember eating gas x and Tums like candy,I would eat them like a meal since it got me full. I would eat sugar free jello and be so full after 3 spoons. Give it time, stick to the liquids. I wasn't able to have yogurt until 3 weeks out.

Staeted levothyroxine a year ago, I've lost 40lbs and I'm 7 weeks post op. It can be done. Ive worked very hard

I was banded June 8th dat of surgery I was 304 and currently 265 and my surgeon says I don't need a fill. I lost 27 lbs the first month and and 12lbs in 3 weeks that the average loss per month should be 10 lbs. so since I'm doing really well with diet and exercise I don't need one yet... Just evaluate ur eating and are you exercising and getting enough water. It all makes a big difference in your weightloss.

After day 6 it hurt/was uncomfortable when in the laying position, but all good on top. Port site was very tender

My surgeon said that the average loss for a month should be 10 lbs, I'm almost 2 mos post op and no fill yet, not needed since I've lost 27 lbs the first month and 10lbs after 3 weeks. So since I'm doing "so well" they don't want me to have a full yet. >.< I want one just to see how it goes. And I feel like I'm going slow, I think because I'm comparing my progress to bypass patients, they lose so quickly 0,0

Tried getting a fill at 1 month post op but dr was not able to locate port and extremely painful. Went back yesterday and a diff doctor said I don't need one yet. That avg weightloss should be 10 lbs and that I've already lost 8lbs in 3 weeks. Ugh!!! Part of me really wants one. I feel like I'm losing very slow. I'm apparently impatient :/

Lol thanks! Yes it stopped ,I would get one every 4-6 months and then completely stopped the last year and I've never been on birth control. I just want to feel " normal" and be regular

Lube?? Keep at it. Lol

Hiii! At my heaviest last summer I was 335, I With my *** insurance I had to do a monitored weightloss program with a weekly weigh in with a nutrionist,after that 6 mos program I had to wait for a lot of aurhorizations. Lab work,endoscopy, esophageal manometry test. It took me over a year to get surgery.. June 8th 2012 surgery weight 304 current weight 274! So worth it. Good luck on your journey

Idk I have a 10 cc band , I haven't heard of anything other than that

I want my period already lol. It's been over a year since my last one.. I'm currently 275 and no period yet. I've lost 60lbs,not on birth control. Wonder how much weight everyone's lost before their cycle started again?
