So I have had a really bad year. House related: new Water tank , new dryer, new fridge, new stove. But hey I can use the oven now.

My daughter totaled her car. My husband had someone slam into the back end of his truck while pulling out of parking lot. I rear ended a lady who just stopped because across that was closed was open and she wanted to go that way. So I hit right into her.

So when it was time for my Lapband I can promise you I was scared to death.

So that went well and am on 8 weeks and lost 45 pounds.

I now have pain in my arm and shoulder with numb fingers. So MRI showed bulging disc c7/8 Doc wants me to c a surgeon for his opinion. He says to be comfortable with the surgeon do if I need him I need to make sure I like him. Good advice I think.

He put me on neurotin, ultran, and flexeeul.

Now I get to go they this. I am going back to Lapband PA for a fill -2nd one- but she told me she will never do 2 fills in a row. Might have to give her a neck punch. Hahaha. Jk.

I am hungry about 3 hours after eating. I have 2ccs in my band. Ok vets/----should I be getting a second fill?

it sounds like it to me. i don't understand the part about 2 fills in a row. everytime i see my doctor we discuss whether a fill is needed or not. the whole idea is to have the band filled until you feel satiated between meals. and it takes less food to fill that requirement.

3 hours after eating is about right. You have lost very good, but if YOU feel that it is time for a fill, maybe it is! My own surgeon knows me well enough to know that I can't do more than the fill have already. When did you have your last fill? I had to wait at least 1 month between them until I was happy and my weightloss was acceptable. If I had lost about 5 lbs in a month, I was not allowed a fill. Best wishes, you need a hug, too((((hug)))). Karen...aka..kll724

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
