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

      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! 😞
