Recommended Posts

Hi guys;

Well its been 4 1/2 months since surgery and from starting surgery of 225 and now I am almost at the below 200 mark:). Its been a wonderful ride and believe you me, I know without a shadow of a doubt, this is just a tool!!!

I just went to get my 4th fill and I wanted to know how many fills are we required to have?

No requirements. Just whatever works for you. Everyone and every body is different in terms of what is needed or desired in terms of restriction.

Good luck!

GREAT! I've had 4 fills in my 4cc band and I'm pretty dang restricted...... my doc says no one he see's has more than 5 cc's in their small band.... (so I have about 1 cc left before I'm at capacity) However I don't really see me needing more anytime soon.GOOD LUCK!

Thanks guys for the responses. I've had 4 fills from august to this last one in october. So I did ask my doctor and he confirmed it works differently for everybody.

      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! 😞
