I seem to be back in the losing game again. After having gone up a few pounds in the last month or so. I'm back down. I had a fill a week ago Monday and for the first time I can tell I have the band in. I can't chug Water, I hear gurgling. I know when I'm full. This is great. Down to 174. Three pounds lost this week. I can see my goal getting closer now.

I finally had my fill today!!!!! he put .7 CC's in my band, so Now I'm up to 3ccs in the 10cc band... which, I told you guys my doc is really strict about fills.

Considering I haven't seen him since the beginning of november (basically he cancelled appointments up until jan, and then it took me about a month to get the appt I had today) I thought I was in for a talking to, but apparently I've lost 10lbs since the last time he saw me, which means, my #'s are off somewhere. Anyway. so since last week (when I finally bought my scale) I'm down 4... and I too am almost at the 50lb marker... Slow go, but on my way!

John- you're even below target! Wow!

Well, I was on a sloooowwww streak for a while, and lately it's picked up. In the last 2 and half weeks, I've lost 7 lbs. No fill either, it's so strange how the band works :frown: Getting closer!

I had .5 taken out of my band because of acid reflux yesterday. Had my first comfortably sleeping night in quite a while and lost a pound last week. although it was a pound that I had gained back the week earlier so it really doesn't count. lol I'm a little worried about them taking that much out of my band...hope I don't start gaining again!!!

Have a great week everyone!

No loss again this week. I know I am eating too many calories. Not much bad stuff, probably just too much. I really need to work on that. Especially since I am so close to that 50lb loss goal.

Have a good week everyone!

Hey, all. I haven't been around much because I've been sick. Haven't lost anything. Been going up and down 2 lbs, which is driving me crazy. And today I have to go in for an unfill because I got stuck on some corned beef (yum!) at a St. Patty's Day party and it has caused inflammation that won't go away, despite me doing Soup and Protein Drinks for a week. Last night and the night before I had reflux, so I realized it was time to call. I'm bummed. I hate when this happens! :)

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
