Any July 07 Bandsters not filled yet?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I thought i'd get filled today, but no luck:rolleyes. Doctor says weight is coming off nicely so no fill yet. I go back in two weeks. Problem - I'm getting hungry and have been eating more in the past week than I think I should. I am still losing though. I feel like I'm the only one not filled yet. Anybody else out there banded in July and not filled yet?

Hi Sue

I was banded 7-16 and haven't had a fill yet. I was banded in Mexico and when I tried to make an appt. for a fill with a local doctor, I was informed he was leaving and they didn't have anyone to take his place. So, I got on the phone and called every bariatric surgeon within a 100 mile radius and finally found one. But, he was on vacation so I have to wait until the 21st. I am finding my self eating more and more. And I am getting FRUSTRATED.

Thanks Kirajh. Stinks to being hungry doesn't it! Hope the 21st comes fast. I'm now waiting until the 26th. Hoping it happens then. I guess we should just remember that we didn't put it on overnight and it will take time for it to come off. I hope for both of us that the delay doesn't mean some weight gain. I'm going to keep on walking my butt off (3 - 4 miles per day) and I'm going to bed early so that I don't go to the fridge too many times. Good night and good luck.

Hi, I'm a June Bandster (21st) and still have not been filled yet. Many of my band sisters have had four and I think has had five fills already. I truly think I'm the only one who hasn't had a fill of my group.

I've had one fill so far but I have no restriction. I've gained back all my preop weight loss. It's so frustrating! I have to wait another 2 weeks for another fill.

I was banded July 27, 2007 and just had my first fill last week. Restriction is WAY there, I am still doing liquids after the fill and will continue until who knows. I did try to eat Friday I think and was a no go... so shakes I continue.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
