Did anyone else get a fill on day of surgery?



Recommended Posts

I went to the same place as you as well. I found out at my first fill that my doc put 4 ml in, the NP put in an additional 1ml, and I can certainly feel the difference with just that 1ml. She was considering putting 2ml in, I'm sure glad she didn't! I think that it is not just surgeon preference, but case by case difference as well.

My first band was 11cc and my doc did not give me a fill during surgery.

My second band same doc, different band 10cc he put 4cc in during surgery. He said the same was too loose and i didnt have that much fat around my stomach.

Getting a fill during surgery is kind of like helping you avoid bandster hell.

Good luck :)

My doc put 4 cc in on my day of surgery and I havent had any problems at all. I am eating the amounts I am supposed to eat and I feel fine. Not getting too hungry in between.

      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! 😞
