I Finally Have Restriction :)



Recommended Posts

I think this is "IT". . . I had lap band surgery on April 9th; first fill on June 6th. Went in this week for 2nd fill . . . and I finally feel like I have some restriction ~ WOOT WOOT. Now, this band and I can get to work and lose some more weight. I should be happy with a 35 pound weight loss but I want M-O-R-E . . .

oh I am a bit jealous! I have not had a fill yet, and I have gained a few pounds back. I lost 10 and have gained 4 back. Not happy about that. I am making better choices, but I have such a hard time sticking to such little amounts of food.. looking forward to the help!

I just got my first fill and still no restriction. :-(. There is 3.5cc in my band and can tell no difference.

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
