Post Op Plateau After Pregnancy - Question About Flouroscopy Fills

[0308bandster 0]

Hi all,

I just joined this site tonight but have been reading it from time to time for a while now. I'm hoping by joining it will hold me more accountable and give me some motivation. I had my LapBand surgery 4.5 years ago and lost 83 lbs but didn't quite get down to my goal weight. Then, I got pregnant and my doctor took out a good amount of Fluid. Needless to say, between being pregnant and going a bit crazy after being restricted for so long, I still need to lose 42 lbs. to get back to where I was pre-pregnancy and I still have another 45 lbs. to go after that to get down to my goal weight (i.e. I have 87 lbs. to go!). I've been at a plateau pretty much since my son was born 7 months ago. I just moved to a new city and started with a new doctor. He's going to do my first fluoroscopy fill in a week. I'm a little nervous because I've never had a fluroscopy fill before and I'm not sure what to expect. Also, now that my insurance doesn't cover my fills, including flouroscopy, I'm a little concerned that I'll keep having to go back and get fills and unfills to get back in the green zone, as apparently I can eat too much right now. Has any one had much experience with flouroscopy fills and are they pretty accurate? Or, did you have to go back a few times to get into the green zone? Any insight anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated!
