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.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
