New Here But 1 Year Post Op

[jups2709 18]

Hello! I'm Liz and I am new to these forums. I wish I found this place so much sooner! I had my sugery February 9, 2011 and am down about 100lbs. I still have about 90-100lbs to go. I moved from Arkansas to Kansas almost a year ago so I've had the experience of finding a new surgeon for my fills and what not. I had my very first fill 6 weeks post op and did great. I had him add a little more about 6 months later and have done well with that. I moved after that so I went about 6 more months without seeing a surgeon. I had my new doctor add 1 cc of Fluid and became totally obstructed. That was the most horrible experience I've had during this time. I went back to my doctor less than a week later and he took 2 ccs out. I gained weight for the first time since my surgery and that has been very disheartening. So last week I had him add 1 cc so I am back to where I was before I visited my new doctor. I am still trying to teach myself to eat correctly. I get so hungry and then overeat and that is so uncomfortable. Anyway, am very excited to have people to talk to about this experience and look forward to meeting new people and learning new things.

Hi Liz, glad you found the site! I am so happy myself to have found this back in November 2011, so I had a lot of knowledge wayyy before my surgery. Best thing here is we are all here to help and listen,no matter what!

Oh, and congrats on the huge weight loss!! You should be soooo proud of yourself
