no difference



Recommended Posts

Hi,

Had my first fill on Thursday. I thought, OK, now things are going to start moving along. Nope, no difference.

The doc said "see ya in a month." As soon as the office is open I am calling in to try to get back in. How soon will they do another fill? Will Thursdays fill magically "kick in" or do I need another one.

I know it is a marathon, not a sprint, but I just want to get off the starting line.

SAD.

I had my first fill this past Tuesday...(I was given 1 cc in a 10 cc band.) My doc said to come back in 6 weeks for another fill. I did feel some restriction for the first day or so. I am going to ride it out for another week or so to see what happens with my restriction before I call the doctor's office to get in sooner than 6 weeks. Good luck to you.

I am told to wait a week to reschedule because many people do have a delayed reaction to their fills.

I completely understand what you are going through. I feel like a failure. I haven't lost any weight since my surgery July 14th. I CAN'T WAIT to get this party started and start losing.

My first fill was 4 cc's.....felt nothing at all. My 2nd fill was last Wednesday and I got another 3 cc's. And I only feel a little restriction.

Good luck & remember you are not alone. Please keep us updated how you are doing.

Jane

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
