Every doc is different. Yours should have told you already? Some give them in 30 days and some not for months and months. Depends on how you are doing without it?

Yes we are. This last fill has been very different though. I'm very restricted right now almost wondering if its to tight. I'm also ruining a low grade temp. I called the dr to see if I am to tight, he said to give it until tomorrow and if I'm not any better he will remove some Fluid. It took me an hour to eat chobani yogurt, and 3 bites of poached eggs for dinner I had 4 bites of chicken noodle Soup. I'm now trying to eat mango sorbet. Dr did say the fever isn't related to the fill, but anything I eat or drink hurts going down feels like a stuck episode.anyone else experience this?

Sounds too filled to me. Try liquids only for another day, then mushies. Don't forget that you guys have to be able to tolerate dense Protein or you are too tight. Make sure you do liquids a couple days after your fill. Hope you feel better soon!

I'm hoping for my 3rd fill tomorrow, Dec 11. My doctor wants too keep me at about 2 pounds a week whether you're hungry or not. He wants you to work at this weight control by adjusting in your brain and making wise choices. I almost begged for my 2nd fill. I'm close to 6 pounds of weight loss since my last fill, so I'm short 2 pounds. I'm hoping and keeping my fingers crossed that I receive my 3rd.

Best wishes

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
