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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
