One Month Since My Surgery

[Tiffany3280 45]

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...

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!

I have a question for you. You seem to be a veteran bandster...lol. My doctor told me after my surgery. 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?

Plush diva, I'm not who you directed the ? 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!

Thank you so much!!! I was starting to fill bad for feeling this way. I lost a little weight after the surgery. I haven't gain it back. But, I'm ready to get my life back. And, get rid of some these aches and pains!!! Thank you for your feed back...

[MiniMi 1,468]

I eat the same as before. For me I was fuller longer though. I go tomorrow for my second fill.

I still have no restrictions I guess I'm one of the people that it's going to take a couple of fills before I feel restrictions. I'm happy I'm down 20lbs since 10/28. How do u feel?
