Thanks Krussell just left 1 of my doctors and he gave me Fluid pills. I can't believe the amount of fluid I'm carrying around my body hurts really bad.

Has the doc said anything about why this is still occuring? I would think things would have started to turn for the better :(

Hello krussell! My primary wants me to have a venous Doppler done as well as an chest X-ray and a X-ray of my abdominal. The Fluid seems to be going and coming on yesterday I drink a lot of Gatorade and Water and by the time I got home I was swollen again. I just want to get back to my size 2 weeks ago. This makes me not want to ever get my band unfilled.

I completley understand ive had 3 emergency unfills that all lead to even more problems then I had before the unfill.

I hope they figure it out so you cam have some relief!!

I had my band unfilled last week also and now I am suffering from bloating' date=' pain all over my stomach, excessive burping. I feel as if my stomach is swollen but can't really tell. Are you having pain with the swelling?[/quote']

Hi Sommers, Yes I experience a lot of pain especially in my lower legs. But for some odd reason the pain started in my buttocks. It's been a week now the pain is gone but my stomach and legs are still swollen.

      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!!

      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... :(
