On my 2nd fill and still can eat almost anything?



Recommended Posts

Hi out there, My surgery was 4/4/07. I followed instructions to a tee but after the alloted time I started eating normally again. It feels as though I have no restriction and I have been filled twice. The second one just a 4 days ago and still hungry and can still eat large quantities.

Can anyone tell me how many cc's they have had. I am up to 2 cc.

After my 1st nfill, nothing. After my second, which by the way my dr put the needle in the port and attempted to pull out the Fluid from the first and surprise! There was none! So now I am on my 2nd fill (really my 1st). I got 1.5cc's and yes I do feel the restriction. When your dr. gave you the fill, did they pull back the fluid to make sure it was in the port? Good luck!

Can you feel the restriction as they are filling it? If that happened to you when they missed your port how exactly do they know they have the port in the first place.

No, you cannot feel any restriction as they are filling the port; if you could, I would have none that the dr missed the first time. What I have learned is that when you get a fill, the dr should insert the Fluid, then pull it all back into the syringe. If nothing comes back, he missed. Does your dr do that?

It took me 5 fills before I got a lot of restriction. It's different for everyone, some people don't need a fill at all, while others take a lot. I usually get tighter after 3 weeks too!

that is why they have the x-rays. and make sure that that screen is right in front of you so that you can see how the barium and Water is going down. pretty interesting. but he was inserting the saline, i also took a cup of barium. he asked how did it fell going down.

now my other question is, i am wondering if my doc. lied about how much saline he put in!!!

so iluvharleys you say that you won't actually fill that restrictions until after a couple of weeks, even if you had gotten a first fill? i am very confused about it because i still can pretty much eat anything

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
