Thanks Denise,

I agree quality of life, there is something to be said about that. I was pbing everything. Why do you think it happened, do you think stress or just that the band has a mind of its own? It just started getting tighter and tighter:eek:

Did we know you had an unfill? Sorry if you posted and I didn't catch that. What's the story? How are you now?

Janine

I can't imagine the hurt I'd do if I got an unfill right now, because my will power is at an all time low since being banded. The band is the only thing keeping me from falling off the wagon completely.

Both of you, keep us posted.

I have eczema---got it as an adult--and it is the type that is triggered by my nervous system---AWESOME (insert major sarcasm!) With the start of school and the the heat in my classroom in Dallas--it was the ingredients needed for a flare up from the utter depths of Satan's colon!

Anywho, because of the swelling of my skin etc.. it only made sense that my insides would swell too. (I had not had a flare up since my surgery) So basically I started Pbing more than usual---throwing up Water and coffee---could continue with it and didn't want a slip, so I went to my doctor and he was going to take out just a bit---well after he took out 1cc they had me drink some Water and I had a little pain (like it was going to come up)--so he decided to side with caution and do a complete unfill. Then I had to go to my GP and get a three week major dose of Steroids--that's right girls--moon pie face medicine!

Major freak-out moment. I was completely deflated until a couple of ago and I got a fill under fluoro (no slip :o) --very conservative--still think I need a little more. But as I was saying before, I don't want to get as much as I was before--just in case of another flare up.

So there was my story--:phanvan

Thick chick.....You have to put your pictures in some online account, ...I use Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket

It's free, you just open an account and download your pics from your computer onto Photobucket, then from there you use the URL from that to copy and paste into your LB profile.

It took me a while to figure it out.

Perhaps someone else can give you more details, I'm no computer whiz.

hope it works for you

      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... :(
