Got a fill today!



Recommended Posts

I have been banded since 2007. Im down, right now, about 60 pounds, but that's because I have gained 20 since Thanksgiving. I was down a total of 80 pounds then. I need to get these 20 off, so I can fit in all my 10s again! Up to a 12 right now. My goal size is actually an 8. We will see.

I asked a couple of questions, since I never really knew. I found out that I have an Inamed band - 14cc

I had 7.5 ccs in it, and she filled me to 8.1 - does that seem like a lot or a little?

Several years back, I was filled to 10ccs and had to have 2 taken out - I lost 9 pounds in a week! However, this is the first time I have ever felt some restriction right after a fill. I will be doing fluids and shakes through tomorrow.

I guess I'm kind of all over the place, but I'm excited to get started back in the right direction to get this weight off.

Does anyone else have this brand band? Im curious. I had actually never heard of it, I always thought I had Lap Band brand. LOL

Good luck. I have LapBand. Six adjustments in eleven months so far. Up to 7.6 in my 14cc band. Creeping into green is better than overfilling so they tell me, so I am taking it slowly.

      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! 😞
