1ST FILL NOT BAD....



Recommended Posts

Today I'm two weeks post op & I had my 1st post op appt & 1st fill. I must admit I was nervous. But my surgeons & his staff are GREAT! I received a shot of a local anesthesia & was given 3.5cc in my band. I was able to get all the barium liquid down with out a problem. I'm really hoping to have a good amount of restriction after this but I know that maybe asking much from my 1st fill. I'm just excited now & feel like a real BANDER now since my first fill cherry has been popped lol. The only thing I seem to keep feeling like I'm going to burp. And its a 50/50 chance that I actually burp. Other then that, so far so good.... I started this process from a three week pre op liquid diet on 4/16. I'm happy to say I've lost 32lbs since then for a total of 63lbs GONE & NEVER COMING BACK since Oct!!!!

What should I expect now???

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
