3rd fill today and 2nd time meeting post op with my surgeon



Recommended Posts

And it went very well/ My surgeon praised e today on my steady but slowish weight loss. I was Banded 3/2/10 and I am down 30 lbs since surgery. I am currently up to 7cc's in a 10cc band. We will see how this restriction results because I only feel slight restriction..

Has anyone gotten praise from their surgeon? I felt so good that he was proud of my weightloss so far and I have only been out 3 months as of yesterday.

My port is difficult to actually get, and my surgeon does it in his office, and not under fluro. He said the reason why it was so tricky was because I had lost a significant amount of body fat since surgery which in time can complicate the port.. But it is a good issue..

I am just so happy today that I feel like jumping up and down!:Dancing_biggrin:

That is so great for you! I have not seen my Dr. since surgery. He has his PA do all the fills and follow up I guess. Not something that I knew or even thought of before surgery to ask. It kind of bothers me a little, but I don't have problems so I guess it doesn't matter.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
