Confusion In First Fill Time



Recommended Posts

Hey all- my surgeon said people get filled after 6-8 weeks but when I called the fill center to schedule a fill, they said they do it after two months. That seems like a long time. :(

Eight weeks is two months. Every surgeon is different. I think my first fill was at six weeks

I know eight weeks is two months, but one person said i could have it done at six weeks and one said eight weeks. I would prefee to go at six weeks but the fill center will not do it until eight weeks. I was just trying to find out if that was common. Thank you!

My surgery was on 6/5 and my 1st fill was 5weeks later and was given5cc in a 10cc band my doctor had me drink a cup of Water and wait a few minutes later I started sliming and he took 1cc out and then everything felt all right a little tightness though. I started losing weight slowly for the next month about 1lb a week and my next fill he added 1cc to make a total of 5cc's I lost about 10 lbs in 11 days it was crazy probably too much but I feel fine but have lot of restriction. The truth for the first time I have to be very careful what I eat and drink.

      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! 😞
