7Mos. No Fill



Recommended Posts

Wow I'm flabbergastered, fills are part of the lapband process. Sure some people are lucky enough to not need any BUT fills are part of the whole process to remove that constant hunger and to help you eat less, why in the hell would you have gone through having the lapband put into place if they don't understand you will need fills.

Sheesh you might as well go out and buy a car and say ok I have the car but I don't need the gas to put into it to make it work.

Hope your new team are better educated with how the lapband works, best wishes to you.

You know this new journey can be stressful enough on us without having an incompetent care team.

I'm familiar with the area since I'm from Stockton. How about dr Woodbury in Santa Rosa or docs in Chico?

The hospital isn't who give you fills. Why are you not making appt with the drs office directly? I'm confused too because ucdavis is the best around. I have a friend who works there in that department I think. She's like a big shot. If you pm me the docs info I could find out more for you.

When you need the lap band fills it does not depend of the time it depends of how much weight you loose and usually you are foing to loose 6 to 12 pounds a month but some months you will loose weight and others only reduce the sizes in case that you have two months and you don't see any difference in your body is when you need the fill.

How about stay the same up and down for two mths then gaining the next two mths like 10lbs and I feel the diff I'm watching wat I eat also

Maybe you can get a new doctor? This just seems so odd! Like you said... Why get lap band if you're not going to use it?

You took the words right out of my mouth!! Find a new more supportive Bariatrics' Team.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
