I am 6 weeks and 2 days post op today. I was nervous about getting my 1st fill because I didn't know what to expect. It was not as bad at all. 1st I was injected with same numbing med. That was the worst part. It felt like a pinch. I didn't feel a thing when my surgeon injected the 4cc fill. I was told to take it easy tomorrow with a soft diet then regular after that. I have lost 29 lbs since pre op diet/banded. 9 lbs from the pre op diet and 20 since surgery.

Glad to see this thread. I will have my first fill on April 10th - five weeks post op. I was wondering what it would feel like. They said they do 3 cc for the first fill. I have lost 23 lbs so far (3.5 weeks post op/no pre-op diet) and I am feeling great. I have to host a small get together at my house that evening for work. Do you think I should push the fill back a week? How did you feel physically afterward?

I think 2 cc should be good..I did 2cc and I deff feel the restriction...in only one week I lost 6 pounds...just make sure u follow the liquid diet all over again for the first 3 days...but next time I would do it for 4 days.....and then gradually go bak to eating food

      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.

      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! 😞
