Hate Getting Fills!



Recommended Posts

I just got a fill on Monday since January, now I have to learn all over what I can and cannot tolerate. I do have a good restriction but now I am back to discovering my foods. I find that after each fill, my food list changes. I definitely cannot do bread period..

Well I had to get an unfill yesturday, and I just lost 22 pounds in about 9 weeks, very strange, I should have to get a fill, not an unfill, has this ever happened to anyone out there? I became very tight after losing the weight, so I have a appt for an upper GI on Tuesday to see if anything is ging on in there with the band?

I am trying to hang in there. liquids can go down but not a lot and I am full fast. I don't even want to try eating anything. Like now, I don't know my full spot, I have to learn again since I am tighter.

I always have a learning curve after a fill. The good news is that once you reach your green zone, you won't need to get fills very often. I go about once per year for a little top-off.

My doctor told that I will not need another for 5 months. I am really trying to deal with this one. I am not sure if it is because that TOM will be here next week. I never gotten a fill before my monthly. It is either because it is too much saline or the TOM....

If you cannot get liquids down, call your doctor! Dehydration is nothing to mess with. If going down slow, sip, sip, sip. Get some gatorade and get as much liquid down as you can. Getting hydrated will help loosen the band as well.

I am getting liquids down. I just finding it hard now to know when I am full. I am getting down some tuna slowly but surely....

I can do rice but no pasta....I so miss spaghetti and shrimp alfredo. What I find that after each fill, my food tolerance changes. One thing that never changes is chicken. I love some chicken.

      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.
