Should I get a fill?



Recommended Posts

In January of this year I got a fill which took me to 2.9cc's. While my level of restriction felt great I would wake up chocking/coughing at night. This board helped me realize I was probably too tight and I got an unfill in May which took me back to 2.6cc's.

Well, now I am too loose. I'm at a good maintenance level, but have pretty much stopped losing unless I kill myself working out (note: I am working out at this maintenance level).

For those of you who have had fills and unfills, would you recommend I get a fill? I really want proper restriction again, but I don't want to wake up coughing or be too tight. I'm also worried about paying all that $$$ for .1cc if it's not going to work...

THis was my first unfill, and I also don't want my fill doctor to think I'm just bouncing around. <sigh>

Thoughts?

      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! 😞
