First Fill after 9 Years



Recommended Posts

Weight before surgery 281 lbs (bad news folks)

Got it down to 237 lbs (good news folks)

Got on the sacles this week 266 lbs (sad face folks)

Booked in for a fill, had 3 ml in there from first fill after surgery. Doc put in another .5 ml and said see me in a week

.

Been back at the gym all week and taking it a day at a time.

Can't beleive I got this complacient when I have a lap band and your ongoing support.

It has been almost nine years and you sort of forget its there to be used.

I really love hearing from the "long term" lapbanders. It helps to give us all insight on how well the band still functions, and its possible longevity.

Thanks so much for sharing :)

Just got back from Doctor. Told him the .5 ml didn't feel that different the last 7 days. Have dropped two lbs though. So he put in another .5 ml. So I am up to 4 ml in a 6 ml band. "Onward and Downward" thanks for your support.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
