Recommended Posts

Banded 09-11-07. I think God did my surgery because I was up and running errands the next day. My biggest problem is hunger but first fill is finally on 10-26-07.

I was banded on the 24th. I have done pretty good so far. I had not seen any loss for the last two weeks until I weighed today and saw a loss of 4 more lbs. I was worried but now I am laughing at myself.

Linda, I also can eat anything so far. Will have 1st fill on 11/19. Can't wait. I am hungry alot. Also trying to keep it to the 1/2 cup amount, but very hard. Am trying to keep the breads to a minimum since from what I hear, bread is going to pretty much be out once I'm restricted.(I pray that is the case for me since bread is my weakness.) Only advise is do your best. And if it gets to bad, call up dr. and discuss with him your hunger problems. I'm assuming that since dr. says you are doing well, that means you are losing, but I know it's no fun to be hungry.

I hope to get a 2nd fill 2 weeks from today. I lost restriction about a week after the first fill on 10/15. I also will be maping out how we do fills and how often etc. Will keep everyone uptodate.

Hi all!

I'm new to this board. I had my surgery on September 6th and, to date, have had two fills and lost 18 pounds. I'm a little concerned because I can't each much during meals, but I am hungry constantly. I'm wondering if I need another fill. I have an appointment next week, and am hoping that solves the problem.

I look forward to reading all the great information on these boards!

SOunds like you are doing just fine. I will agree that when you fill full and then your hungery right after. I seem to have that a lot. I think that has to do what it was like before we had surgery in regards to eating and feeling hungery. I would double check with you doctor. Also I can forward you an article that talks about fills and what to expect if you would like.

Hello! I'm new too! I was banded on Sept 17th by Dr. Veninga in Dallas, Tx.

I had my first fill on Nov 2nd but I'm going back on 12/11 for more Fluid. I'm a lot less hungry between meals now, but I still feel like I'm able to eat way more than I should at meals.

Glad to be here!! ;)

We went to the doctor before thankgivings and I gained a couple of pounds but the doctors office did not record the last weigh in when I had the first fill since it was not done at the office. We both had a fill today. I got 1 cc so now Iam up to 2 cc. I hope that this will last a lot longer than the first one. She got 1 cc also. She is up to 3 cc. So will see what happens now. on liquids today, soft foods on Tuesday and regular on Wed. We go back on Jan 7th, 08 and might get a fill the following week. He wants to see us now every 6-8 weeks and then will look at getting a fill. Glad to see that everyone had a good Turkery Day. Now were ready for Christams.

Hi! New to this whole thing.

I was banded September 6th in California.

I enjoy reading about all of your successes and what you're going through! It's good to know that I'm relatively normal!!!

Hey gang,

I am from Virginia, Banded Sept. 11 with Dr. Eric Pinnar, Synchrony Health - formerly Advanced Weight Loss Solutions (AWLS).

was 222 when Banded, and am now 207. I have had three fills. May need to take a little out - just waiting a week since my last fill to see if the swelling goes down. Feeling GREAT!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
