Had a fill on Thursday,1cc, felt fine, Friday could not keep much down, not even Water, tried to drink my Protein shakes and they would not go down, Saturday still getting stuck with fluids, Sunday tried some Soup, barley could get it down, Sunday night constanly throwing up, at night acid reflux, misable, felt like I was dyning. Went to doctor on Monday, first patient in office, they removed 1.5cc, I was swollen, and in pain, this is the worst fill, i ever got, they did a scope to make sure my band had not slipped, I feel so much better today, they told me to stay on liquids for a few days, it is so funny I wanted restriction and I got it too much, but if ever in doubt if you are in the red zone, and it don't feel right go to the doctor, this site helped me make that decsion, because I was going to wait it out, and from the scope they say I am still very tight and have a lot of irritation, I go back in two weeks unless I have problems, they told me not to hesitate to come back in, the staff is the best, thank god, for the good doctors and nurses and PA at Memorial Health in Savannah Georgia, and thank you guys for the good advice.

i used to think i would want my band really tight too, until it happened. ended up getting 2 emergency unfills..had good restriction for about 2.5 months, got sick and band tightened back up. now i'm going in monday for a small unfill.

Since I had my unfill, I am craving and eating everything in sight, this surgery surely have it ups and downs, I go in on the 12 March to get a fill, can't wait, long as I don't get in the red zone again, that was awful, I have never felt so sick and for days, never will I ever wait that long to go to the doctor. But I do admit, I have no regrets getting the band, I finally can look in the mirrow at myself, and know this is me, I was getting so big people did not reconize me, I felt so bad and ashamed I let myself get that big, but I will get this eating under control eventually, because I never want to look like I did before, I could barley move and felt bad all the time.

        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
