Too tight fill again, here's the story...



Recommended Posts

Hi Karen,

Hope all is well todya. I had an unfill in yesterday. I went from 1cc to 2cc last Thursday and much like you - not good for me. YAcking everything even Jello and rice pudding. I had an unfill down to 1.5 cc and so far so good. My md's are real mushie hounds. So i never enjoyed mashed potatoes so much in my life.

How's Hanna, does she post???

I have no idea whay I am always the opposite of people:0( I am WIDE open during my monthly visit- I mean WIDE open for at least 2 to 2 1/2 days. It sucks- & I gain.

Glad your fill is better now- at least you can be happy being a tiny bit tighter than looser during that time with the right fill.

Hopefully in another month or two I will change & go the other way.

Karen,

So glad you have updated us.

After the -.3cc's was removed, you had to have more taken out? Yikes girl! Youve had a rough week.

So now you are totally unfilled?

hungry? ;)

Yup. THe liquids just weren't getting down, I wasn't starting to feel better except the pain being gone & I was worried about going over the long weekend. I pigged out yesterday, was "good" today & hope to get some fill back tomorrow if she'll let me; if not definately next Monday. And yes, I'm hungry. If I can't get back to her tomorrow, I think I'll just go on slimfast for a week!

Thanks, Paula.

Karen, sounds like you have had a tough time here. Isn't the band touchy? One day I'm wide open, the next I'm tighter than all get out.

I know it takes awhile for us to get this all figured out - but I'm just figuring out how it works in the summer and now winter will come and I"ll be back to square one.

Keep us updated and good luck. Celeste

BTW - what are you using when you eat tuna? I haven't been able to get tuna down and I'm really craving the herb and garlic tuna packets.

this is exactly what i am struggling with right now... i think i need a fill because i am starving all the time but i do have restriction at some point if that makes any sense... i am so afraid of being too tight but i am really having a hard time loosing!! i dont know what to do.. i have 2 cc which i got 3 months ago and i have lost about 15 pounds since then so i am assuming my band has loosened up... can .1 or .2 ccs make me that much tighter???

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
