Hi everyone. It has been 3 months since my surgery and at first everything was great. I lost 10 pounds in the first couple of weeks and I have had one fill. I go for my next one on the 29th. My problem is that I have only lost 15 pounds and I workout regularly. I do cardio and weight train. I don't have much restriction anymore and can eat like I used to. I try hard not to over eat but sometimes I do. I have had some serious family emergencies in the last 6 weeks and my stress level is through the roof. I eat when I'm stressed and therefore I feel like I am letting myself down. I am hoping that after my fill I will feel better and the weight will start coming off again. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.
Hello everyone. I had my third fill yesterday and I have a few concerns and I am hoping some of you could help me figure out what to do. As soon as I got to the parking lot of my doctors office right after my fill I started feeling like the water I just drank was going to come back up. I have never vomited in the 6 months I have had the band. I sat in my car and I burped up the water over and over again. It was kind of foamy like a lot of spit. I know it sounds gross, sorry. I continued to do that for about 20 minutes. I started to feel a little better and when I got home, I tried to drink some warm tea. I burped that up as well but I did manage to keep it down. Later I tied some chicken broth and the same thing happened. This morning, I am trying to drink a little coffee and am having the same problem. My question I guess is should I contact the Doctor or should I just wait until the swelling goes down and see how I feel. I need some advice please. I am leaving town next week for 2 weeks and need to know what to do. Thank you for your time. Happy Holiday's!!!
Hi. My question is regarding my first fill. How much do they put in? Is there any discomfort along with a fill? The reason I ask is that I am going on Vacation 6 days after my scheduled fill and I won't be around any hospitals or doctor's offices. Should I wait and do my fill after vacation? Please, someone help me. I need all the advice I can get. Thank you so much for your time.:cursing:
Well, it's been 2 and 1/2 weeks since my sugery. I have lost 10 pounds and 11 inches off my body. I can't see a difference yet when I look in the mirror but my clothes are fitting looser. I am pretty happy with the results so far. I do enjoy working out and it definitly makes me a happier person. I have a long way to go but I know I can do this. Good luck to the rest of you, we can all do it!!:smile2:
