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 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?

      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! 😞

        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... :(
