After my 4th fill I was at 7.1cc and waaay too tight. I threw up everything I ate. They had to take out .5, after they took it out, I felt like I had NO restriction. My dr. said it was due to the swelling as well as having some removed. After three weeks, they added back .25, but I still feel like there is no restriciton. The x-ray showed it easily flowing through. They girl who did the fill said that every three weeks I can come back for just tiny fills, to get it to where I need it. I am so frustrated. I haven't lost in almost a month and I still have very little restriciton. It is so hard since I still have the fat mentality. Humphhhhhh:(

Hi,I totally know the feeling!! My surgery was in Jan. 08,,I have lost only 43 lbs. I have only had 2 fills and this last one has put me over the edge,,ALL I DO IS THROW UP!! Its really horrible! I have went back to have them check it but they said everything was fine,,,( obviously they know nothing) Its been since June 10th,,I'm at 4 cc's. I feel like I have dumping syndrome ,,which they say you dont get from the band,,With the last fill they put in 3 cc's that did nothing,,and this last one i feel like i cant eat absoultely NOTHING!!

It's crazy, I truly have less restriction than I did after my third fill and technically, I have more Fluid in there. Funny, I have put on about 2.5 lbs in the last three weeks b/c of the lesser restrictions and I feel like I have put it all back on. I'm beating myself up, but sadly, it doesn't stop me from eating. Tomorrow is a new day. My hubby bought me the Wii today and then went to 5 different stores looking for the Fit software, bless his heart. Maybe if I can increase the exercise, I'll get over this hump.

      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! 😞
