Recommended Posts

:scared2:I got my lap band in Nov of 2006 and I lost almost a hundred pounds by Nov of 2007. Then got pregnant. I had my baby august of this year. I went back for my band fill and have had nothing but problems. The first fill the dr sd he wasnt sure if he got it in or not but he put 3 cc and told me to eat liquids all week. by the end of that week I was starving so I called him back and he said well maybe it didn't go in. so he re did the fill for 2 more cc and the same thing so he sent me to the hospital for a fluro fill and this time it took. By the time I got home I had a small glass of Water and it was not working i want6ed to just throw up. could not keep nothign down. By the next day was very sick called the doctor then then had me admitted and deflated. Two weeks later I got reinflated and the same thing I am so restricted on 2 cc. I am sitting here can barely drink water want to throw up and can not even eat food. It has been 3 days sisnce my fill and I have not been able to eat anything. What is going on???? Anyone have any ideas b/c my dr sure teh hell dont....please advice...

well u obviously need to get unfilled. for some reason, there is too much restriction with 2 cc's. give ur body time to relax after ur pregnancy. good luck! be patient!

Did you feel you needed a fill or did you just get one cause you thought you need to lose weight. If you think you need to lose weight you have to go easy on yourself you just had a baby. I would get an unfill and focus on eating fruit, vegies, dairy and animal Protein so you and your baby, if your still breast feeding, keep in good health. I have no kids but I remember hearing somewhere it takes a year for your body to go back to normal after a baby.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
