Had a fill on Thursday,1cc, felt fine, Friday could not keep much down, not even Water, tried to drink my Protein shakes and they would not go down, Saturday still getting stuck with fluids, Sunday tried some Soup, barley could get it down, Sunday night constanly throwing up, at night acid reflux, misable, felt like I was dyning. Went to doctor on Monday, first patient in office, they removed 1.5cc, I was swollen, and in pain, this is the worst fill, i ever got, they did a scope to make sure my band had not slipped, I feel so much better today, they told me to stay on liquids for a few days, it is so funny I wanted restriction and I got it too much, but if ever in doubt if you are in the red zone, and it don't feel right go to the doctor, this site helped me make that decsion, because I was going to wait it out, and from the scope they say I am still very tight and have a lot of irritation, I go back in two weeks unless I have problems, they told me not to hesitate to come back in, the staff is the best, thank god, for the good doctors and nurses and PA at Memorial Health in Savannah Georgia, and thank you guys for the good advice.

i used to think i would want my band really tight too, until it happened. ended up getting 2 emergency unfills..had good restriction for about 2.5 months, got sick and band tightened back up. now i'm going in monday for a small unfill.

Since I had my unfill, I am craving and eating everything in sight, this surgery surely have it ups and downs, I go in on the 12 March to get a fill, can't wait, long as I don't get in the red zone again, that was awful, I have never felt so sick and for days, never will I ever wait that long to go to the doctor. But I do admit, I have no regrets getting the band, I finally can look in the mirrow at myself, and know this is me, I was getting so big people did not reconize me, I felt so bad and ashamed I let myself get that big, but I will get this eating under control eventually, because I never want to look like I did before, I could barley move and felt bad all the time.

      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! 😞
