    madsville got a reaction from sharonk in Lost Fluid in Band ~ ? Revision   
    It was a huge Mystery for me too… And the only thing we could probably figure out was the fact that I started training in my sport and was working out very hard and my body may have just assimilated it. But back on track had one Fill and suddenly my body is back to where it was when I first got the surgery. Because I'm building lean muscle the weight-loss is slower but I'm losing inches and am at my pre-accident weight from a year ago when I crushed my arm. Have faith this was probably the best thing ever to happen and you may not have a leak it may just been your body absorbing it and you're getting a second chance to start all over

    madsville got a reaction from JustWatchMe in Fill and Refill   
    So i had shared that I had relocated and one Dr only wanted to fill under FLOURO. Because I am in Healthcare.... I am a bit skeptical at the unneeded extra radiation. Blah Blah Blah. So... I did some homework and found another DR. *** I havent had a fill in 1 year and had gained 15 lbs in the past 90 days. So....... HE did a withdraw and found I was 3.2 cc and added 1 cc = 4.2. But I am not feeling the restriction..... either at all or yet. I will see if there needs to be a few days of settling. At any rate... I think he was being cautious to set a benchmark and see where to go from there. Also.. I have the APS band which has a fill line of 10cc. So I am not yet out of the YELLOW.... but now that I have an idea of what and where I am headed.... I am not going to stress over it. I will go back at the end of May for another fill and hopefully a bit of weight loss. What is a huge bummer is that my new insurance does not cover Bariatric but I am hoping that exclusion will be lifted as this is a life saver and game changer. Im preparing for National Championships and hoping to have MUCH smaller costuming made.

    i have done that with some of my fills. i had one before where i think great this fill was not working then bam about a week and a half later it hit me and i am like wow this did work everyone is different my doctor said some feel it right away and some people it takes time. my first fill did nothing for me so you are lucky it took me three fills to start getting good restriction.
