checking in 4 months post op



Recommended Posts

Well I'm 4 months post -op and down 50 pounds. It feels great. I can't wait to lose more. I had my lap band surgery with Dr. Schuster at St.s Mary & Elizabeth in Louisville, Kentucky. Things couldn't have have been better. Little pain if any. Was very smooth. I've only had 2 fills so far. I get my 3rd fill next Wednesday the 12th.

is 50 pounds in 4 months decent? I kinda feel like I've stalled but - I know i'm getting another fill soon. I'm really wanting to hit 100 pounds lost in a year.

I am 4 mos post-op as well and have only lost 30 lbs. Everyone is different. I have my 3rd fill on 5/10. Hoping this will kick-start the weight loss a little more.

We're on similar schedules and I'd also love to lose the 100 within a year. I'm also feeling a little stalled and haven't really lost much over the past month. My third fill is in two weeks. Can you eat whatever you want right now? Do you get stuck? Just curious about how the second fill worked for others. Regardless, it sounds like you're right on track. Congratulations!

honestly I felt tighter after my first fill. my second fill felt like he loosened it. LOL

I get my third fill next wednesday the 12th. I went in for a fill 6 weeks ago and he turned me down for a fill - said he thought i had more to lose on the current fill. I didn't drop much since then less than ten. so I'm ready for my 3rd fill - I can't wait. I'm going to do liquids a day early hoping to jump start the losing.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
