Tiffany3280 45 Posted November 18, 2012 It's official it has been one month since my surgery, October 18, 2012!!!! I go for my first fill on November 28, I'm a little scared and anxious at the same time.... I have not been on a scale since I went in for a follow up a week after my surgery. Should I be concerned if I've gained weight, I feel as though I have lost a few more pounds.... I still have some discomfort where my port is...

CHEZNOEL 4,061 Posted November 18, 2012 The port is the last to fully heal and can cause problems if bumped, even now for me, one year out. Good luck on your weigh in, I predict success! 1 ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That I should be able to drink a cup if Water. He said the band is just on. But, I felt some restriction afterwards. Now! I can eat like I use to before surgery. Just not as much. I can't wait until my first fill. The second week of December.. What u think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At but from my experience ( banded 10/5) my dr told me the same thing and I was swollen after surgery so felt restricted for a week or so then I could eat whatever. I didn't mind you but I felt like I could have. Sipping Water was a breeze. I had my first fill 11/5 3cc and I feel a little more restriction. Not too much but enough to keep me fuller that right out the gate. Hope that helps! Pre-op 275.9lbs -surgery 10/5 265.0lbs -11/11/12 241.8lbs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
