First of all I wish this site was user friendly. I can't seem to work it very well. Last week I got an adjustment and I didn't think it was to was tight, but really didn't want it to be to tight. I had to go see Dr. Allen today to get some of the fluids taken out so I could eat and drink. In five days, I lost another six lbs. So there was my sign that it was to tight. I now have lost 109 lbs. I just didn't want to admit it to myself. I will just have to see where I go from here now.

Hello Again,
First of all I wish this site was more user friendly for me, I can't seem to work it very well.
I had to go back to see Dr. Allen again today. My band was to tight from the last adjustment last week. I have never had it to tight before. In five days I lost another 6 lbs. So now I have lost 109 lbs. I feel better with the fluid being taken out. Now I hope I can eat and drink some.
I will go from here and see how it goes.

Sorry, I just got your message. I have not been on the site in a very long time. I am still not sure how to work it all. I am a novice to this site also. LOL

Hello, It's been along time since I have been on the site. Life has been happening. I am going to upload some new pics soon. It's been almost 2 years since my surgery and I have lost 103 lbs., about 40 more lbs to go. When I think about the journey, I can't believe it, WOW! I never thought I would get to this point. Stacy

Hi Lavetta, I have almost called you several times, but I didn't want to bother you. It felt very weird. He only put in 3 cc in, is that normal? At times, I feel that I can eat more than I should and other times, I get full very easy. I have lost 30 lbs in two months. I am only getting weighed when I go see Dr. Allen. I don't want to get crazy with my scale. Nice to hear from you.

I didn't realize the band was at the bottom of the esophagus, I thought it was on part of the stomach. I learn something new every day on this site. Are you better now?

Anxiety AFTER surgery?
csummer10 replied to Julescincy75's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had a bit of anxiety after my surgery. I was so ready to lose my weight. It took me time to relax afterwards. I had to get my head in shape before I could my body. I had to think of a healthy program for me and then when I was up to it, then I started putting the program in place. Now, two months later, I am relaxed, and I down 30 lbs and into a exercise program, eating a lot less. Hang in there and be kind to your body. -
First fill was today - it SUCKED - bad!

I can't beleive you had to go through all that with your first fill. I had mine today and I had 3 cc also. But I was lucky they got me on the first hit. They told me as I continue to lose weight the port will get closer to my skin and easier to get to. You have done great so far. I have lost 27 pounds in two months with not fill. The next fill will be better. -
The pre-op is usually two weeks before the surgery. But I started a month before my surgery date. Cutting all carbs, trying to shrink my liver so there would not be any problems during the surgery and to help the doctor get to my stomach easier. The more weight you lose before surgery is better for you and the easier for the doctor. Hang in there, your surgery date will be here before you know it.
