Recommended Posts

My first fill was 3 weeks ago (4 cc) today I got 2 cc.

It breaks down like this

fifth thru ? 1 cc

Does your Doc do it this way?

My doc does it on a patient to patient basis, depending on your needs and how well you're doing. Mine equaled out to:-

First fill - 1.0ml

Second - 0.4ml

Third - 0.4ml

Fourth - 0.4ml

Fifth - 0.2ml

Sixth - 0.2ml

Seventh - 0.1ml

Eighth - 0.1ml

Ninth - 0.1ml

Tenth - 0.1ml

Eleventh - 0.1ml

Twelfth - 0.1ml

Total - 3.2ml in a 10cc band , which for me, is my perfect restriction :) I was lucky in the fact that after my first two visits, my doctor agreed to let me come in once a week until we found my sweet spot. He was very intent on not overfilling me and taking things slow, but in the end, that worked out great for me.

      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! 😞
