Weight Loss after First Fill?



Recommended Posts

I was just curious what everyone's experience has been since their first fill. I haven't lost any weight (nor gained) since my first fill a few weeks ago. I barely have any restriction and PB only when I don't chew enough. I've been doing the treadmill 4 times a week so I think that has helped me not gain anything but I am no where close to the restriction I had post surgery.

I have 6.4cc right now, rcvd 3cc on the first fill, plus what was in the band at surgery, and am hoping to see more restriction after my next fill coming up next week.

What was your experience like between the first and second fill?

I've only lost 6 pounds since my first fill (about 3 weeks ago), but then I was losing 2 pounds a week before my first fill.

My body says differently. Since I'm not losing any faster, but my body shape is changing drastically (for the better), I think perhaps it may just be redistributing the fat for now.

As a diabetic, I held a lot of fat in my belly which was disproportionately bigger than the rest of me. When I was younger, I had an hour glass figure, reminiscient of Marilyn Monroe...albeit on the plus size. :smile:

Now that my blood sugars are closer to normal and I'm taking less Insulin meaning my body is less insulin resistant (and less prone to turn sugar into belly fat), I'm getting that figure back. I'm saying 'hello' to my waistline again!

Of course that does mean I'm also having issues right now with my underwear sliding down my legs. Must be time for a shopping trip!

I just received my first fill on the 23rd and I've lost 3 lbs since. As you can see I loose very slowly so we'll see how I do till my second fill which isn't till the 26th of February. My doctor put in 4 cc's first fill and my band was empty after surgery so I didn't feel restriction till yesterday really. :smile:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
