Had my third fill today



Recommended Posts

and it went great. i am up to 4.7cc in my 10cc band. I have not lost much in the last couple of weeks but I had lost about 5 the week before that. It seems that I lose 3-5 overnight then nothing for a couple of weeks. I am expecting my period any moment now so between that getting over with and the fill today I am expecting a nice drop over the next couple of weeks. This would be nice because I am so freaking close to getting into the next size down - sort of in between sizes right now!! I hope everyone is well and is staying healthy!! Dh is offshore diving right now ans wont be home for two more months. My goal is to lose 15 more pounds before he gets home.

You've had 3 fills!? I'm liking your doctor right now! My conservative doc has my first fill scheduled for this week (6 weeks out).

Good luck on your goal! Sounds like you are doing great.

I was able to go in at 4 weeks for my first then it is every 2-4 weeks afterwards. I waited two weeks for my second fill and three for my third.

Wow, I have only had one fill so far. I know that this may sound funny but right now I don't have a lot of restriction and I'm about 2 weeks from getting my second fill, so I am surviving off will power and I like it that way. Now don't get my wrong, I would like it if I had more restriction but being this way also makes me deal with my food addictions.

Well I was banded on 10th January and like Brez I have to wait till 10th April to get my first fill. Doc was pleased with my progress but said if I was eating recommended quantities and not feeling hunger then he would leave the fill till next time.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
