awaiting an adjustment



Recommended Posts

Called my surgeons office since I've started with night coughing and heartburn since my last fill. So, it's back to liquids & mushies until Wednesday when I am scheduled to go in for my first unfill.

22 months banded and still happy that I chose the band. I haven't had many adjustments but just the fact that it can be adjusted was deciding factor for me.

Curious if others do more seesawing back and forth than my experience?

I'm risking getting flamed here, but I don't know how much is in my band. It honestly doesn't matter to me. I have a ten cc band and have had 9 fills since my surgery date of 12/12/11. I've gone from 310 to 242 with very few complaints and nice slow, steady weight loss. Happy chick!

That being said, I'm now into the "red zone" and need my first unfill.

[ Thought about it and requested my medical records about the lap band just so that I'll have a copy in case I change doctors or (someday) need to read them :-) ]

Talked to the nurse and she recommended Prevacid and I was able to sleep thru the night last night ~ amazing! Staying on a soft mushies diet until the adjustment.

No flames from me... Lol I only know because I have a plastic card thing given to me by my band providers. As I live abroad from where I get my aftercare (of sorts) I have to show it if I get ill or in an accident. Long way to go back if I have a problem..

I've been counting down... my adjustment is tomorrow (Wednesday) at two pm.

Stick and tired of all the fluids; it reminds me of my post op diet!

Thank you :-)

I'm amazed at how instant the relief was! She removed 1/2 cc and I'll go back in two weeks for follow up.

Had a good dinner and am just a smiling woman tonight. Thanks ever so much for the good wishes :-)

      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.
