3rd fill. Now it works



Recommended Posts

I ask my Dr what size band I had he just said large, and he put 2cc in it and said I will do 2 more next month.

I'm not green and not sure I will even strive for it. I can eat an adequate portion but then I'm full and stop. I'm losing but I'm sure not as fast as if I were "green". I only have 2.5 in my band and even if I get another my surgeon is going very slowly.

I understand that. For me I find the lack of choice easier to live with. I have a small capacity now. I won't waste it on poor choices.. I find it makes things clean cut for me. But I acknowledge we are all unique. What works for one might not for another..glad your happy and doing well.. :)

Hi fashionstylist!!! My band lady told me generally people with a 14 band find restriction around 8-10. No doubt there are huge variables. So depending on how your fill amounts your getting there... Keep rocking the fabulousness

Okay that's good to hear. So I'll stop panicking. I'm still staying within my calorie limit.

Your doing gr8..I was really tearful for a while. I hated being hungry all the time..it felt just like a regular diet and they weren't a fabulous success (or I wouldnt be here) so wondered why I'd spent all that money! I did voice that and my band lady did fill quite aggressively. As long as things stay like this I won't be needing another fill for?? Possibly ever. When's your next fill scheduled? Hopefully not too long too wait...

I get a fill every month . I just got one on tues so I have 3 more weeks. I am staying full for 3-4 hrs. I think I was just having a moment because I didn't work out yesterday. For some reason if I don't work out I feel like I'm gaining weight bit actually the opposite is happening. It's a mind thing..

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
