I desperately need the help. I am over a year out and lost 50 then gained back 15. I am not doing good and think some support would do me good.

not good...what's your secret to all that weight loss?? i was banded on 12/16 and only lost 11 lbs, that really sucks...just got my 1st fill on 1/18 and my dr says that i shouldn't be concerned b/c i didn't have any Fluid in my band so he didn't expect me to lose much. He said that i won't start losing until I've had a few fills but i read post from others that have lost alot even b 4 their first fill...I'm getting discouraged....

I REALLY need a mentor.

For my first band, the tubing was never connected, making it worthless.

This time, however, the band is working great!!!

I have so many questions and want to do everything right to make sure this band continues to work for me.

Thanks,

Terry

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
