How Can People Who Share the Same Struggle Be So Judgmental?



Recommended Posts

donnalemaster my first band developed a leak, and I had to pay again to have it removed and a new one implanted. This one works great I have lost over 4 stone, in 2 years and I am so glad I had a new one. This is my lifeline, and I would go though it all agin if this one failed (please God I hope it doesnt).

Dont despair love, all will turn out well in the end.:D

To the person with the port leak... I just went through the whole thing of being worried sick, and what would they do.....

I have a 4cc band (older one) They put 2cc of saline in there, and 1/2cc acrylic. So if there was a leak anywhere,, it would seal it.

I'm fine....... It was that easy.

They did it under fluoroscopy (PAINLESS) and watched for any type of leak or break. Nothing...

So yep I know how you feel, and more. It took me 3 years to get it fixed, had to find a new surgeon (MINE WOULDN"T TOUCH ME) so I regained around 100lbs....

But you to when you get yours fixed, you will be off and running again.

Good Health to you, Shirley.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
