3rd Time IS a charm!!!



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone!

I just had to write a quick note to let everybody know that I have had my third fill and I FINALLY have proper restriction!!! It's a new feeling for me but I'm feeling better about the whole process now.

Before I had this restriction, I was feeling sort of discouraged. I am feeling so great about my band now, I just had to share!

I never thought I would be happy to PB, but when I did this mornig I was like 'whoa, so this is what everybody is talking about' HAHAHA! :tongue2:

P.S. I learned the hard way this mornig that WW Bagels wont work with the band...

Thanks for listening!

Chi Town Susie Girl!

That's great to hear. I've had 2 fills so far (the 2nd was 3 days ago) and I don't feel any restriction so I'm thinking it's going to take me at least 3 fills. I have an out of town business trip to Denver scheduled for the week of 9/15 so I don't want to risk getting a 3rd fill before the trip and then experiencing overtightness while I'm out of town so I was thinking I will wait until I get back from my trip to schedule the 3rd fill.

The 3rd fill was what did it for me too. It put me at 6cc in a 10cc band. I lost 5 pounds that week after the fill but now I'm stuck again, just at least now at a lower number.

JRFan88, do you still feel restriction or is it time for a 4th fill?

I still feel restriction after nearly 3 weeks. Restriction for me is pain in my chest almost like the feeling of a heart attack. My doctor schedules our appointments 6 weeks apart so I'm about halfway between appts. I'm not sure if I'll get a fill when I go back or not. I can barely get a slimfast down in the mornings but then sometimes I can still eat too much. I have had my first PB since this last fill but it has only happened twice. Unless I loosen up in the next 3 weeks I'll probably stay at this fill awhile longer.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
