Hi Im new here and looking for support



Recommended Posts

Hi my name is Kim and I was Banded 9-13-06 in Mexico. I go tomorrow for my first fill. I lost 25 punds right off the bat and then nothing for a month, I gained about 3 pounds back. My Dr said my band was "fluffy" and I would need a fill at 6-8 weeks. Boy do I ever. Wish me luck for tomorrow..

Hi Kim and welcome. LBT is indeed a good place for support.

A "fluffy" band. That's a new term for me. Do you know what he means by that exactly?

Good luck with your fill tomorrow.

Sounds to me like you did a good job with an unfilled band, and waited a decent, healthy length of time to get your first fill!! It will help! I too wonder what a "fluffy" band is....hmmmmmm

Welcome to bandland, and LBT, Kim!!!

Hang in there Kim, it may take you a couple of fills before you really feel any restriction. The first phase is a healing phase. Any weight loss is a bonus. When you start feeling restriction, the band will start doing its job. Until then, it is all YOU. The weight you have lost is completely credited to you! Don't sweat the few pounds gained. Look at what you have lost and move on. You are doing an AWESOME job. And don't forget it.

We are all here for your support. Take care.

Thanks for the support, I really appreciate it. My signifigant other has been with me through it all hbut he really doenst like to talk about it so much. My sister was banded in march and she went from 200 to 135 already, but she throws up after almost every meal. I haven't thrown up once.

When I asked the doctor what "fluffy" meant he said that my stomach wasnt that big so the band was kinda loose.

Is anyone in or around Olympia WA? Thats where I am and was wondering about docs in the area. The one I am going to today is Dr. Neal. 375 for a fill under flouroscopy. Hope it all goes well. No turkey for me tomorrow.

Thanks

Kim

P.S. How do you get all that stuff under your name? weights and goals and stuff?

      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.
