Good to know. they had to cancel my fill due to some emergency surgery they needed to do, so it's rescheduled for Friday.

I will make sure I eat 5 hrs prior to the fill.

Thanks for the answers!

I was never told a time frame to not eat before a fill...hmmmm. I will ask for sure. *As personal choice I never eat the day of a fill, before or after, but I would like to know what the doc has to say about that.

My doc's nurse said nothing after midnight.But my doc says I can drink up to two hours before,he assured me nothing would be in the pouch in that time frame.

      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! 😞
