to those who followed my last post you will understand this one......I went in to see if I had a leak in my port well they found out I didn't, they removed all the Fluid in the band to see how much fluid was actually in my band, im wondering because they removed all the fluid would they explain why I feel like im starving to death, I had restriction before they removed the fluid, now I feel like I have no restriction, or will I have restriction in a few days? can any one explain

If you had a barium swallow , they should have explained why they wanted to take all the Fluid out or you should have asked I just did 2 barium swallows in 2 months and my Doctor never did it before so I asked him why he did a back to back barium , now I have to do another one just for precaution measures but if I don't want it then I don't have to , but he says he checks if you are almost a yr, banded to make sure nothing is wrong , but I have not heard of him taking all fluid out , maybe some , to make sure there's fluid but then puts it back in , but not all, so you might call your doctor and ask wh?

My surgeon uses the barium swallow after my fills to verify that I am not too tight. He can watch the liquid pass thru my band with the floroscope!

the reason for the removing all the Fluid is because last time I went to dr the nurse said I had 9.1 in my 10cc band I said then why am I straving all the time she said we need to check your band to see how many cc's are actually in the band well to my surprise there was only 4.0 in the band and I asked what happened to the other 5.1 she gave me a fill that day and had me to come back 2 weeks later to make sure the same amount of fluid was still there, they where checking for a leak, but I found out yesterday I didn't have a leak the nurse that was doing my fills couldn't find my port and was shooting the fluid in my stomach instead of putting it in the band.... which is sooo crazy to me, but out of all this I still feel great and I guess that's all that matters wright...

Good reason for me to only have the surgeon do fills!

I agree it is weird, but my Dr advised that I will no longer be seeing a nurse and he will be doing my fills from now on, it sounds crazy to me, but things happens....

I would not let anyone but my surgeon do my fills as he is the one who Operated on me so he knows where my port should be , when I went last time he was having trouble finding it and asked me if he ever had trouble before and I told him only once as I show him where he should feel then he finds it right away with syringe in hand and ready to fill , but last time he also did it under fluro so I don't let anyone and wouldn't trust anyone else anyway,

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
