Am I Too Tight?



Recommended Posts

I am so sorry to hear about your problems. I was nearly that bad back a year ago. I was not too tight, I had a slip. After removal of all my fill, the lapband did not go back into place,(which sometimes they do). I had to have a revision in October, a year ago. I am better now, but do not want to go thru that again. My biggest problem is, that I had gained a little weight, and can't get further fill, I am at 5 cc, and any thing more, is too tight for me! Good luck and bless you both. Karen

I have 4 cc in my 10 cc band and I feel tight. I had a fill yesterday. I have felt full and I have barely eaten anything!

I had the same type of thing happen to me last year. I had a fill, but then 3 days later when i was back to solids, I couldnt keep it down. I went back to fluids and then started not being able to keep that down. I called the doctor but it was right before the weekend. I waited it out until monday, because it was almost a week since I was really able to eat anything. I went to the ER and met my doctor there. He was in surgery so I had to wait to be seen in between surgeries. He unfilled me 1 cc and it made all the difference. Next time, if there ever is one, I know to go in right away. I'm sorry to hear of the great distance you must go to see your doctor. I am sooo grateful my doctor is here in my town after hearing of your dilemnas. I am so glad to hear that you are feeling better. Sometimes we don't listen to our bodies...I know I didn't. Take care of yourself...I'm sending positive thoughts your way :)

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
