Going for my first fill



Recommended Posts

I was scheduled for Friday morning but I am attending a post op class tonight, so they will work me in before the class.

Have fun- fills aren't bad. However, I did pass out during my first one. I had a vasovagal response. Basically they push the Fluid in to fast and it irritated the vagus nerve and down I went. They have to push the fluid slower now.

1 cc in 10 cc band, and I can definitely feel it. liquids tonight, mushies tomorrow, and then back to solid food. Found out tonight that fills are on a two week schedule, so back on the 19th for the next.

Wow every two weeks!! My doctor does fills once a month. Is your doctor doing fills with or without floro?

Actually I will probably only see the Dr. if I have a problem, other than that his lap band nurse does my fills (no floro) and directs my program. Their goal is to get me to restriction as quickly as possible, I was really pleased to find out the schedule.

      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! 😞
