I know I paid for them, BUT I don't know if I want a fill.
I saw my doctor 4 weeks post op. I was ready for a fill. He saw from my chart that I had lost 20 ish pounds since the surgery. He asked how I was doing, and after about 3 minutes of conversation decided that I did not need a fill. He felt like I should save it as my weight loss was going fine.
He went on to let me know that this decision was one for quality of life. He did not want me miserable in an effort to speed up my weight loss.
He told me to lose another 15 pounds and then come back for a fill. That was 2 months ago. I am down another 27 ish pounds for a total of 47 ish pounds lost. ( I say ish because my weight fluctuates from one hour to the next)
47 pounds gone in 3 months. I think that is pretty good. I am happy with the 2 to 2 1/2 pounds loss per week.
The reason that I am hesistant about getting a fill is that I am still having food get stuck about 2 to 4 times per week.
Call me crazy, but I really don't like that "STUCK" business at all.
My concern, or fear, or whatever you want to call it is that if I get a fill my STUCK episodes will increase. I am a fan of losing weight, but I want to try to minimize the STUCK ness. Because getting STUCK really SUCKS.
SO, what do you think? For those of you who have been where I am, what do you suggest?
Does getting a fill = getting more stuck? OR does getting a fill = sweet spot = less stuck?
