There's a leak in this old building!!!!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! Just an update from me. Currently, I have 7cc in my band and i was banded in june of this year and i have lost only 46#:smile:. I then, had to change docs because the one i had didnt want to give me fills, like i was lyin or something because my restriction would not last long:confused:. So, i changed and the amount i suppose to have had in my band was not what was actually in the band at all:eek:. So , to make a long story short, i went for a fill to day and told him the same thing. I needed a fill. So he started to do his thing, and i felt restricted, so he took some out and then told me to drink again and i ended up drinkin 4 6oz cups of Water and no restriction:eek:! Yeah, exactly what I thought! So he's lookin at me like, u dont feel anything?, I said no if i did i would probably be throwing up on you right now! so he pondered over it for a minute and said u know what?, i said what? i got a leak? he said yeah. So now at least they know i wasn't lyin about my restriction and maybe after i get it fixed i can start losing some weight! I have to get my port replaced MOnday! So pray for me my sistas! and merry christmas and happy new year to all of you!!

That is a something... Why didn't the first doctor take the time to realize you had a leak? I'm sure you asked yourself that question many times. The good thing is that they realized something was wrong and can correct it.. Do you have any idea what caused the leak? I'm asking because I had my first fill about two weeks ago and the Nurse Practioner did it, not the docotor and he was having a hard time finding the entrance and the entire time I was saying to myself I hope he doesn't put a darn hole in my band? Good Luck on Monday and keep us posted and Merry Christmas

:) Hi everyone! I had my surg monday and it seems that when the first doc was doin my fills, evidently he bent the port up pretty bad and that's what caused my leak:angry:! My new doc did take out the saline each time but it leaked out slowly and when he put more in to hold my restriction is when he discovered it. But I'm glad it is over with maybe i can get on to loosing more weight!:confused::cursing:

      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? 🤷‍♀️
