3 Weeks post op



Recommended Posts

I went and seen my doctor yesterday, for the first time since my surgery. It has now been 3 weeks and I am down 10 pounds. I was just wondering if this was about average? I am goign for my first fill in 2 weeks. I thought that was kind of soon, but I really have no idea?

Courtney, Congratulations on the great weight loss! Do you feel like you need a fill yet? If you're feeling satisfied after your meals and getting your full Water intake in and losing weight, you don't need one yet. I waited 2 months. Teresa's been banded since 4/04 and still hasn't had a fill yet. Others have had a couple of fills in that amount of time. It's a very individualized thing. No two people (and drs.) are the same.:mad:

Hi Courtney... my first fill was originally scheduled for 6 weeks post-op but I didn't end up having it until 8 wks post-op due to problems I was having. I think it really depends on how restricted you are feeling. I was very restricted up until my 8th week post-op... then I was WIDE open... a cornish game hen could have slipped through whole at that point.:mad: Sounds like you are doing great with your weight-loss!

Darcy thats only funny because it's real close to the truth , right?

Courtney, My Doc. says if your losing 2 to 3 lbs. a week then good. Also if you 3 to 4 weeks with no weight loss it's time for a fill.

Hope this helps,

      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! 😞
