December Bandsters How much have you lost?
newgumpee replied to oceancity4me's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery was 12/3/09 I was 264, and today I am at 224. 40 lbs !! happy but alot of pain with the fills had to fills first time was 2cc, and now 1cc, and had 3 in so 6cc in a 10cc band. Dont fill full, and no problems with any foods yet. But I dont want to go through the pain any more with my fills, he does numb but doesn't help when you get stuck 9-10 times to get the port. Don't know what to do. Mary :redface: -
Congrats to you !! It is hard work, but it will give you the new look, that we are looking for. Keep working hard, and it will be given back to you. :thumbup:

I wish I could ask for another Doc, he is very nice and is new at this I am his first, this is a new surgery at our hospital, and I am the first Pt. So I have no other Doc in our hospital that can do the fills but him. He is going to another hands on class on the 16th and my next fill is the 17th, I dont know if my port has a tilt to it, but he also does it all in his office just by hand to find the port, and stick. no light to help him. One more try I will give him on the 17, if 6 more times, and cant get it I am out of there, and over to the hospital to get it done. alot of stress on me, and think did I do the right thing. we have no support group, I find it all on my own.

Went out to eat tonight the first time after my surgery. I am 8 weeks out and down 32lbs
Didn't know what to eat and not get sick..Have not had any problems of that and did not want to have the first time when I am out.
Had a half a rack of ribs, and a sweet potato. ate it all and no problems, why is that, I don't want to be able to eat that much.
have only 2cc in my band, but at home I weigh every thing out, and only 1200 cal. a day, and doing real well with that and in the gym 5 days a week.
So is the band working for me?? or am I doing it all on my own for now..is this a mind thing? well it is working
any help from others I will take it. thanks Mary G.

I can also feel my port. had my lad done 12-3-09 had my first fill on 1-16 but not on the first try, after being stuck 6 times, and could not find the middle of my port I was done, and told him to stop. Two days later I went to the hospital to have it done under x-ray, then after 3 more times he got it in. Don't know if I want to do this again, but have a date of 2-17 for my 2 fill, hope this one goes in easy for him. The Doc. is new at this, and I an his first, so I am his Ginny Pig you can say.
