I bet I get an unfill next week, grrr and I'm in the green zone.



Recommended Posts

I have to have a colonoscopy soon, have a consultation June 11th and then I will schedule it, having probs and also looking for cancer since my brother is battling colon cancer right now and the kind of cancer he has is hereditary and I was told to get ck'd out and since I'm having probs well, now is the time. I see my lap band surgeon June 6th and I bet he will want to do an unfill, so not looking forward to that since I'm in a green zone or happy place with my band. Just now got back up to 5.5cc's in my band and feel great from my gallbladder surgery and big unfill back in December.

I'm sorry to hear this! I spent the night in er due to Gb pain so I can relate to that you seem to be very successful! Mind over matter until u get filled again. Just keep doing everything the same as if u were filled. U got this. Good luck girl;)

Maybe not, best wishes tho'. I am not sure that having a colonoscopy will warrant a unfill. Make sure that you ask at your apt next week. I am glad to see that you are at green now! Karen

I have had gallbladder surgery and an egd with no unfill. I didn't have a whole lot in my band at the time though.

You should be fine with the fill in. Colonoscopy does not go that far! LOL!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
