I don't feel skinny yet. I still have 20 pounds to lose and have been on a plateu for 10 months. I need a fill but have a vacation planned in Hawaii in 3 weeks so have put the fill off until I get back.

We were all as worried as you seem to be. The week will go by very fast, just get plenty of juices on hand and take care of yourself for a few weeks after. I was really tired and needed lots of rest. I went back to work in 5 days but could have used a few more days rest. Get out books you want to read and movies you want to watch. Good Luck.

Hi everyone,

I'm from Utah...well not from but I have lived here for the last 15 years. I was banded march 12 and I had my 2nd fill yesterday and I am a little sore, but it could be from the disaster at my Salon last night... toilet exploded! So on hands and knees scrubbing and cleaning up crap, literally and whatever else and had to pay a plumber!

Anyway today will be better, I'll be on liquid in AM and soft foods until tomorrow. but I have lost 30 lbs and hope to loose more with my latest fill, 1st one didnt do much so now I have 1.4cc I look forward to getting to know you all!

Welcome to our group, you will find that with this fill you should have more restriction. You have done well.

how is it after 2 years? - friend of mine had it done in Texas last summer and he still hasn't had a fill which I think is kinda weird because I'm looking forward to it a little bit

Some people just have more restriction. I have two friends who have lost large amounts of weight with no fills at all. I am still struggling with the last 20 pounds.

      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.
