6 month follow up today



Recommended Posts

I have my 6 month follow up today. I'm actually looking forward to it. I know they will be happy. I'm debating as to whether or not to ask for another fill (would only be my 2nd) I may let them examine and talk to me and see what they say before I ask. My 6 month was supposed to be a couple of weeks ago, but the doctor rescheduled.

I had hoped to be below 200 for this one, but I had a hugely stressful weekend of my 50th birthday. I ended up spending my weekend getting an MRI and then my actual birthday being being a pall bearer in my Aunt's funeral which canceled the party I was looking forward to. That might my sister and her husband took me out to dinner and I ate too much, but as I was ready to leave I hear this clapping followed by a bunch of people, whom were lucky I wasn't armed, stopping at my table clapping and singing something while leaving an ice cream sundae at my. plate. At that point it might have been tacky to refuse it or not eat it. Had they asked ahead of time I might has asked for something sugar free, but had I been asked ahead of time I would have refused period. Any way, that weekend I ended up 4 pounds, of which I've only lost 3 so far.

It went great. The visit part. My appointment was for 2:30pm and I got there early, only to wait till 3:35 to get called back. I know that is an old story, but its still unacceptable If anyone on that staff calls my computer repair company, I'll remember this when I give them their bill.

Anyway, they were shocked with my results saying it looked more like bypass results than band results. I did discuss my current eating situation, she recommended that I add another .25ccs taking me to 2.5 total. Now lets see if I can get to Onederland.

OMG, you have lost 68.5lb in 6 months with less than 2.5cc in your band?!!! That just amazes me! I have 4cc in my 10cc band and feel like I am struggling (feel like I am able to still eat too much). You've done a fantastic job!! No wonder u'r docs were surprised! :rolleyes2:

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
