2Nd Fill.....



Recommended Posts

Patiently waiting to get my 2nd fill, I have not really felt a difference with my first fill that I got Nov 7th. I only have 2ccs in my band right now, and feeling very discouraged and afraid of losing all my progress I've made. I feel like I haven't even had surgery at all, with the exception of some mornings when I can feel that my band is tighter. I'm trying to keep pushing through and exercising and using Portion Control. I have to wait until Dec 19th to get my second fill. My dr office makes u wait 6wks from surgery to have the first fill and then another 6wks to have your second and then you can have one every 2 - 3 wks. On a brighter note my nurse who had the surgery said she lost the most weight after her second fill. So I'm still hopeful, the holidays are making it hard no doubt.

After my first fill, and before my second, I GAINED weight....did nothing at all.....

My second fill did make a difference, curbed my appetite somewhat between meals, but that was about it....

For me, it took three fills before it really kicked in....

Everyone is deifferent, what you're experienceing has been mentioned here 1000 times....

3 fills for B-52, and about 8 fills (not sure if theres been 8 exactly I've lost count) and 4 months for me, and restriction is still not consistent.

I can lose 3-5lbs the first week after a fill and then gain it all back the second week.

My adjustments are every 2 weeks.

Until u can reach the green zone, which as u can see, varies from person to person, the weight you lose now will heavily depend upon your own dieting and exercising habits.

Once ur band is tight enough to restrict food intake consistently, weightloss is still in your hands.

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      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! 😞
