My first fill has been post-poned!



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on March 18, 2008. I had an appointment for my first fill on Monday, May 5, 2008 nand my Doc. canceled it. I have a new appointment on May 31, 2008. The cancellation has nothing to do with me but with new office procedures. I am soooooo upset. I am getting so I am very hungry and was looking forward to getting my fill and continuing with my weight loss. When I called back to complain my doctors nurse gave me a lecture about the band being a tool and talked to me about diet, exercise and drinking my Water. I told her that with out a fill the band is not a tool being used to its full capacity. On top of all of this, I was chosen by my Doc. to be in a documentary (my surgery was taped and I was interviewed). All of this is going to be on the hospitals website. He wants to complete the documentary in July. I was wondering about getting a fill someplace else or should I just wait for May 31?

I can't imagine 6 months but I'm sure the things you learned about your self are invaluable. I guess there can be many ways to look at a situation and I took a negative approach. Learning about myself and my eating habits is a scary but necessary thing. The fill is out of my hand now so I have taken a wait and see approach. No, I was not given anything for doing the video. Didn't seem like bad idea at the time time but now...... I just don't know!

      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! 😞
