1/2 Cc Not Gonna Make A Difference?



Recommended Posts

well my word of advice. I just had rapid weight loss 50lbs in four months. Guess what? Im having my gallbladder removed because of it. Lose the weight slowly. Your gallbladder can not keep up with all the cholesterol the liver is dumping in it there fore making stones. Lose it slow even though you want more. Its not worth the risk.

Cheryl, I am so sorry to hear about your gallbladder having to be removed! My thoughts and prayers are with you. I'm sure you're not excited about having yet another surgery. Will this affect your continued weight loss?

yes, 1/2cc will make a difference! I have never been stuck since getting my band July 2011 till last week after having a 1/2cc October 30!

I am debating if I should cancel my appointment for Tuesday after Thanksgiving since I am right where I need to be I think.

(had a little stuck episode today but it passed thank god)

Thanks everyone! I was in a really good spot until just recently, I thought once you got into green you were good and didnt need anymore fills.

As you lose more weight you will have to get fills because you also lose fat where the band is and will need to be adjusted accordingly.

I was thinking the same thing. I have an appointment for Monday but since I'm steadily losing again, do I really want to mess with it? I haven't been able to go over 4.5 cc in a 10 cc band in 28 months.

1/2 cc can make a huge difference but I'm not convinced that I need to risk another round of reflux. Tight does not equal healthy...

I have 5 cc band and 3 months ago I filled with .5 so now I am at 3 cc but for last 3 weeks I have a hard time to eat any solid food I am confused I was fine suddenly got tight. I am PB 4 to 5 times a day I have an appointment next Thursday just wondering how much should I remove? It is costly every time I fill or un fill. Please help any suggestion? I don't want to be loose I just wanted to be able solid food I can keep liquid not creamy liquid but no matter I eat slow and chew my food seems like stuck and doesn't go down.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
