Hello all. today is my 1 month since surgery date. I am feeling great and looking forward to my first fill on Wednesday this week. Hope everyone is doing well and I am looking forward to keeping up with this group going forward. I will do my best to keep posting on this thread and hope everyone else will as well. Nice to meet you all and good luck to all with this journey.

My surgery was 3-25 so I am not even 2 weeks out yet, but I am excited for you about your fill. My surgery seems a long time ago! I have been back at work for over a week and feel pretty "normal" (exept that I am still on liquids!) I feel great and don't have any issues with eating (don't think I have any restriction at all!) FIrst follow up apt is Friday so we will see where it goes from that.

Be sure and post after your fill and let us know how it is!

I was banded on 3/11. I will go for my 1st fill on Monday. I feel as if I am not restricted. I can eat almost anything. Has this happened to anyone else? Good luck on your fill.

I was banded on March 8 and have had 2 fills so far. I didn't notice any restriction with the first fill of 3cc but the 2nd fill of 2cc I do feel some restriction. I go back on May 20 for my 3rd fill.

I go for my second fill a week from today. I've had very little restriction if any since my first fill. I lost a few pounds the days following the first fill but havent lost any since. My dietician says this is completely normal and to try and just maintain. Once I have restriction is when I will start to see the changes occur. To say I am impatient awaiting this feeling would be an understatement. I am trying my best but as the dietician says during this unrestricted time, try not to eat the cabinet doors. LOL. Hopefully fill #2 will help. Dr. says 3-5 fills before the sweet spot is found. We'll have to see.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
