It's official it has been one month since my surgery, October 18, 2012!!!! I go for my first fill on November 28, I'm a little scared and anxious at the same time.... I have not been on a scale since I went in for a follow up a week after my surgery. Should I be concerned if I've gained weight, I feel as though I have lost a few more pounds.... I still have some discomfort where my port is...

The port is the last to fully heal and can cause problems if bumped, even now for me, one year out. Good luck on your weigh in, I predict success!

I have a question for you. You seem to be a veteran bandster...lol. My doctor told me after my surgery. That I should be able to drink a cup if Water. He said the band is just on. But, I felt some restriction afterwards. Now! I can eat like I use to before surgery. Just not as much. I can't wait until my first fill. The second week of December.. What u think?

Plush diva, I'm not who you directed the ? At but from my experience ( banded 10/5) my dr told me the same thing and I was swollen after surgery so felt restricted for a week or so then I could eat whatever. I didn't mind you but I felt like I could have. Sipping Water was a breeze. I had my first fill 11/5 3cc and I feel a little more restriction. Not too much but enough to keep me fuller that right out the gate. Hope that helps!

Thank you so much!!! I was starting to fill bad for feeling this way. I lost a little weight after the surgery. I haven't gain it back. But, I'm ready to get my life back. And, get rid of some these aches and pains!!! Thank you for your feed back...

I still have no restrictions :( I guess I'm one of the people that it's going to take a couple of fills before I feel restrictions. I'm happy I'm down 20lbs since 10/28. How do u feel?

      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?

      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... :(
