Any Feb bandster gotten a fill yet?



Recommended Posts

I had my first fill yesterday! I had 1.6 cc in it to begin with - so he just put in .4cc to top it up to 2cc! Told me they go about this very conservatively and slowly - which I don't mind at all...this way I don't get any complications. I do feel that I get fuller a heck of a lot quicker and I don't get hungry so quickly which rocks my world!:rolleyes:

Boy is it quiet around here!! I FINALLY got my first fill today! Funny I would consider my dr. very conservative but yet he told me I didn't have to do just liquids after my fill...I do notice a bit of a difference...will see how tomorrow goes. Wasn't painful just a little pokey. Will go back in another 6 weeks and he will add more...he does the first two in 1cc incriments and then goes down from there as needed. I already had 2cc's in there at placement so I now have 3cc's. What is everyone else at??

Hi Soph! I agree -- it's very quiet around here. I hope everybody is going okay! :)

I'm glad your first fill went well! My doctor sounds almost exactly like your doctor! I got my first fill a little quicker than you (about 7.5 weeks out from being banded) -- I had 2 cc's from installation and he added 1 cc -- for 3 cc's total. My second fill isn't until almost the end of May -- and I do think that I need a little more (he will add another 1 cc), because I am getting a little hungrier between meals...almost moreso than before the first fill. Weird?! :blink: It might be because I'm exercising more, but it's still kind of strange. LoL. How many calories a day are you eating? I'm doing pretty good sticking to 1200 a day with 65+ grams of Protein...now if I can only get DH to ditch the Ben & Jerrys! UGH! :wacko:

Have a great day fellow bandsters! :D

The posting string on-line is lost?

I weight in daily as I am a scale addict. I have been really sick these last 2 weeks and haven't been able to workout. When I do my workouts with weights I can lose 1-2 lbs/wk.

I am at 5 CC's and think I am good. I still get hungry every 2 hours. I eat no more than 1 cup of food and sit around 1400 calories. Down 5 lbs total for the last month with being sick & Easter.

My clothes are getting bigger :).

Good luck all!

Cheers,

Kristi

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
