Hello all,

My dr believes in "not wasting your money" ....so the first fill was 2.4cc....they removed 1.8cc....then on July 5th they put in 3cc....I drank 4 sm glasses of Water....on the way home took a sip and promptly vomitted all over myself....called them drove back 50mi and he used flouro and removed 0.1cc....I truly did 4 days of liquids as instructed then slowly went forth....but I vomit almost every day at lunch....can't drink til around 10:30am or it gets stuck....at least cold stuff....then can only eat around 3 or 4 bites for lunch....usually stuck by then....then dinner just depends.... more days than not I can only eat about1/4 cup?! I thought it would lessen and tried not to complain..but it's stressed my husband as he's watched and worried!!! LIke I said LOVE the weight loss... .but this isn't the way ...and I don't want slippage from too tight....I'm thinking if they remove maybe 0.4cc I should be great!! We shall see....

Thanks for asking and caring!!

God Bless,

Hi, Im Angie..I live in Northern Virginia about 20 min outside of DC. I live with my bf and 1/2 the time with his 2 boys. I have a porky bulldog named Tyson who takes care of the need for my own children. I am an assistant property manager for 7 commercial office buildings in Reston, VA. My surgery is August 9th. I weigh 288, am 5'8 and will be 31 in December. My fantasy goal is 164 but would be ok with 185..so somewhere in between. Been fat since birth, so have a lot to look forward to. I have a degree in Pastry and cooking so that didnt help! "Never trust a skinny chef" was always my motto..not anymore dammit! Its taken a year to get approved through insurance..bastards..but at least that parts done!

Well....I'm checking in!! Believe it or not he did NOT unfill me!!?!?! He used flouro and the liquid went through in less than 1 sec....I watched!!! He was great and listened to my details...then walked me over to another doc and we all three discussed what to do! I am on liquids another 2 wks and then he wants to see me....the only negative is driving 105mi each way....and drinking liquids!! We think that since I have thrown up almost every day....lost 17lbs in 14days....then I have just kept irritating myself!? Made sense too me.....I told him I just didn't want to cause my band to be displaced! He said he believed I would be fine especially since I do well w/ liquids later in the day. I am not dehydrated. There are risks w/ putting a needle in the port. I truly feel good long as I'm not arfing/pb'ing, etc!!

There is such a learning curve w/ this band stuff!! The biggest blessing was he didn't charge me today!!! YIPPEEE!!! I must pay him as he did not do my surgery b/c I used to live in TN.

Thank you so much for caring!!!!

GOd Bless,

Melody

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
