My First Fill



Recommended Posts

Got my first fill today and kinda disappointed it was only 2.5 cc's is this normal seems like I should have gotten more ... My surgery was August 24th and I had done liquids the week before the surgery date and a week after and all together have only lost nine pounds :(

Don't be too discouraged, I got banded 11/23/11. I didn't get a fill for the first month either, and then it was still small steps. I'm only at 6.5 now, but I've lost 90lbs and don't have to go back anymore unless I have a problem.

It's a slow process but absolutely worth the time put in.

Congrats and good luck!:)

slow and steady works. It also teaches us how to eat better.

      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! 😞
