3 mo post op second fill



Recommended Posts

Had my second fill today Fluid removed to confirm no loss than returned and 4 more cc's added I misunderstood the amount that was added on my first fill I thought it had been 5cc's but the Doctor said that he put in 5 then drew off to 2, that now explains why I was feeling no restriction, the doctor said that my progress since surgery has been excellent a total of 41# since surgery and 71# since being approved. I have been in a kind of a stall for the last 2 weeks 220# but up one day down the next day. I hope this fill will let me get below 200 I now have 6cc in a 11cc band.

Doctor knows best :)

Keep your eye on those soft stop signals. They're hard to see or feel in the beginning. Good job!

You are doing great! My surgeon doesn't share the amount of my fills so I have no idea. But whatever we are doing seems to be working. Also sometimes when the scale isn't moving that's right when I notice other things, like pants too loose and time for a new size. Keep your eyes on the non-scale victories as those can be really motivating. Best wishes!

      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! 😞
