Toqu please let me know how the quickslim 30 works for you. Is it an appetitie supressant or is it supposed to speed up the metabolism

Mini Pearl I am here. I am hoping to start losing now that I have a new fill.

I have lost 3 lbs this week after not losing for 2 months. I am really afraid that will be all I will lose until I get another fill. The first couple of days, I could hardly eat anything. Now it feels back to normal.

I took it for the first time today and I literally had to force myself to eat lunch...Sooo it works great for me!!:clap2:

A pound a day would be sweet :)

I'm sure it won't stay this way but as long as it's steady I'll be happy.

My sister had bypass surgery 4 weeks ago and has lost 30 lbs but is sooooo unhappy because she's sick almost everytime she eats.

I havn't got sick at all and hope it stays that way. Overall I feel good.

Don't think I will be joining the gym because of work and my 11 1/2 month old that keeps me very busy but I have my elliptical and swimming pool (Florida) so I think that will work for now.

As of today I'm down 13 pounds and lovin it. Glad to here your on the same track, I expected the weight loss to be so much less because of the lower BMI.

Loosing s-l-o-w-l-y... Banded 11/30/06 started at 191.5, now 150. Hope for 20-30 more. Still a bit baggy and saggy over waistbands ect. Think 20 -30 more should help. No body has noticed the weight loss, still look overweight, so will keep loosing if I can. No loss in a couple of weeks, but several pounds 3 weeks ago so think I am just "stabilizing".

That doesn't seem so slow! My dr. says 1-2 lbs a week (but closer to 1) is expected and you have done MORE than that! Good for you--hang in there!

You were banded a month before me and you have lost twice as much as I have. I had a fill a week ago and finally lost 3 lbs after a 2 month plateau, but I havn't lost anything since then.:phanvan

well i got my second fill last thursday...under fluro, this time way too tight. after the third day of not being able to hold anything down i called the doctor (this was on a sunday) he called his nurse and they both came to the office to remove a bit of fill (about .5 of a cc) made all the difference. I lost quite a bit in those 3 days not a good way though. if anyone is interested in Costa Rica Dr. Suarez Castro is the best band Dr. here. his fees are simular to those in mexico and his after care is the best. His office calls me daily after a fill (fills are $70.00 + $50.00 for the fluro if you need it) to see how i am doing. There are other doctors here but I have seen first hand the after care or lack of i should say. If anyone would like contact numbers I will be happy to give them to you. I am so very happy to have found him. I am on my way down once again.

Do you think US doctors would band me with a BMI of 33..? I would self pay.

Yes..That is exactly what I weighed and that is how tall I am. I was banded by Dr. Spevak in Houston, Tx.

So what did you have to do? Did you have to fly there first for the consult, and then fly back for the procedure? And will a local doctor do your fills? Thank you all for the help.

      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?

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
