Quick question' date=' how soon after being banded did you have your post-op appointment and fill? I was banded yesterday (january 28th) and my doctor wants to see me back for a fill in two weeks.[/quote']

My surgery was today and my first appointment is on February 25th. I have internal absorbent stickes and wound glue for my 5 incisions. Two big ones and three very small ones. My port is mid right of my abdomen.

I was filled to 5ccs during surgery I'm very careful about Fluid intake I measure everything even soup I'm only on Clear Liquids too but I can't believe I have 4 oz of soup I'm satisfied take a nap wake up drink more... What happened with you?

Maybe I ate the wrong stuff today but I do know I'm still quite a bit swollen tomorrow I will start again I know the band is ok because I had X-rays and a cat scan on Tuesday. I will have to be more careful. I'm also on full liquids and not clear anymore

Hi guys 9 days post op had appointment to have staples out. Was I ever happy to find out I lost 4 pounds. said I wasn't going to worry about scale numbers. I lied. this is cool. I then went to primary doctor to find I have actually lost 16 lbs since DEC 20th. I was also told I could start soft solids today. how nice it was to chew.

Congratulations girl!!!! That's awesome. I start on soft foods today too! I made cream of wheat for bfast but could only eat 3 tablespoons but you bet I chewed every bite and loved that feeling of something other than liquid in my mouth! What are you planning to eat today?

      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?

      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
