Had Some Saline Removed



Recommended Posts

had .25cc's removed from my band Thurs. as my surgeon thought I might be too tight. I kept getting things stuck, I was throwing up some and was only able to eat soft foods and had only lost 2 lbs in 3 half weeks whereas last month I had lost 12 lbs in a month. He said hopefully this will get me back on track to eating the things I needed to eat and losing again and maybe being in the green zone. I go back in 3 wks.

I was eating things like cottage cheese, oatmeal, cream of wheat, slider foods like that but not losing like I did the previous month like my 12 lbs and I understand I may have slow times at losing but everything I ate that was solid was getting stuck and I would throw it up so that is why my dr took some out, so far so good since Thurs. Hope urs gets better...keep me posted.

Sounds like you need a slight unfill. Throwing up everything is not good. Also you will not loose weight eating pudding and ice cream. I hesitated to go in for an unfill several times and suffered needlessly. They may not need to take the whole fill out and you could end up "just right". Hope you feel better soon.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
