If you're not too tight, why have some fill removed? Maybe talk to the psychologist in your team? Anxiety wasn't my direct issue, but a LOT of emotions are triggered as we lose weight and they are due not only to mental changes (self-esteem, identity issues) but also due to hormonal changes that happen when so much fat is released from our bodies so quickly. Please think carefully about reducing your fill unless you really believe you are too tight. Your surgeon will be able to advise you upon examination and listening to your symptoms.

I wish you the best and much success! You've lost a lot so far!

I've been told stress and anxiety can make it feel like the band is too tight.. So I feel like it's a vicious circle, I'm going to speak with my doc tomorrow and ask him what he recommends and I will make an app to see the psychologist.. I was prepared for the weight loss and the big change in diet but I wasn't expecting these feelings????

Thanks for the support x

food scares You? It scares me too! So does a lot of other things. If something scares you, then that means you have to be extra careful, and not careless.....I am always careful when it comes to food.< /p>

      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.

      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! 😞
