Recommended Posts

it's been a year and a half since my last fill well after gaining 40lbs i went back to my dr.and he measured it and gave me a small fill that day i had a sore throat and didn't think much of it cause sometimes when it happens it goes a way in a day or two and im fine well it is worse today and i don't feel good so it must be a cold . i cant drink or eat i only managed to drink a small gatorade and i sipped on it most of the day tried coffee and hot tea nothing helps i just pb it.my question is how long should i stick this out i am thinking a day or two if it don't improve at all

My doctor says go back immediately as leaving it too long can result in swelling, also if you aren't getting fluids you will dehydrate and likely to collapse! Its amazing how even .2 mls can make the difference!

Call your doctor! If you need to have a little taken out you can always have a little put back in later. Don't risk an overly-tight band and all the issues that could arise. Hope you feel better soon --having a cold is no fun but if it's also making your band too tight then you must be miserable. Make the call and put those medical professionals to work -- that's what they are there for.

      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! 😞
