Poll: How many have acid reflux problems?
simsbjcc replied to NJChick's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Thanks.I hate to get some removed due to finally making progress,but this is miserable.I am also worried about long term damage.Thanks for your quick response I knew that is what I should do I guess just needed to hear from someone else. -
Poll: How many have acid reflux problems?
simsbjcc replied to NJChick's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I need advice.I had my last fill about 7 weeks ago.Ever since I have been getting heartburn off and on.Now the last 3 nights have been hell.I wake up several times a night from a burning choking feeling and end up throwing up a clear bile tasting liquid.I go back and lay down propped up and in 30 to 45 minutes later happens again.I was banded a year ago and have just barely started to make progress and then this happens.HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
I was banded June 10 of this year.I have not loss anything since the first 2 weeks after surgery.I have had 3 fills and I am now at 8cc's.I excercise 5 times a week.I am really beginning to lose faith in this procedure.The Doctor keeps telling me it takes awhile.I don't even notice a difference in my eating it seems like it takes forever to get full.What to do what to do.

weight loss furstrations
simsbjcc replied to simsbjcc's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have the large band which holds a max of 14 cc's.Last night we went to a football game and had to stop somewhere quick to eat.I was able to eat a whole hamburger.I didn't feeluncomfortable at all.So I don't think I have felt any restrictions. -
I was banded on June 10th.I have had one fill.I do not notice difference nor do I feel like I get full quickly.Could it be I was not filled enough?I am not losing anything.

I am having my first fill tomorrow nd I am a little scared.I really have not loss to much weight in the pst two weeks.I was wondering when is weight loss really noticed?Is it after you start recieving fills? thanks in advance

7 Highly Effective Habits after WLS?
simsbjcc replied to starchile's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
really third fill before it comes back up.I thought it would be right from the start.It does make sense since the opening is larger.Did you lose weight more after the fills? -

I am 2 weeks post op.I have not thrown up once.I was afraid of that.The biggest thing is to watch your intke.Small bite is key also chewing throughly.With drinking sipping no gulping.Prepare yourself before hand it helps.
