First fill with fluoroscopy



Recommended Posts

So I just had my 3-year bandiversary a couple weeks ago and now next month I'll be getting my first fill under fluoroscopy to see if there is anything funny going on with my band...I had a baby last year and I've gotten a few fills since then with no change...like none whatsoever. It feels like I don't have a fill at all but I still get stuck. I'm worried something is wrong but at the same time, I'm hoping something is wrong so I have a reason for my weight loss being at a stall. Is it weird to be excited about a possible issue?

Anyway, wish me luck! I'm not sure if I want the all-clear or them to find an issue that is fixable...Here's hoping whatever is wrong isn't super bad and doesn't cost an arm and leg to fix!

"It feels like I don't have a fill at all but I still get stuck"

I've always equated getting food stuck with restriction and along with it came satiety? Do you not feel any satiety?

What feeling are you looking for?

Yes, I never felt full at all. I felt like I could continually eat! I never tried to push the boundaries but never felt like I did before.

I had my fill today and everything is good to go though! I'm recommitting and following the rules to a T! I have been a slacking bandster without feeling restriction and that has to stop! (Literally and figuratively now)

      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! 😞
