Every doc is different. Yours should have told you already? Some give them in 30 days and some not for months and months. Depends on how you are doing without it?

Yes we are. This last fill has been very different though. I'm very restricted right now almost wondering if its to tight. I'm also ruining a low grade temp. I called the dr to see if I am to tight, he said to give it until tomorrow and if I'm not any better he will remove some Fluid. It took me an hour to eat chobani yogurt, and 3 bites of poached eggs for dinner I had 4 bites of chicken noodle Soup. I'm now trying to eat mango sorbet. Dr did say the fever isn't related to the fill, but anything I eat or drink hurts going down feels like a stuck episode.anyone else experience this?

Sounds too filled to me. Try liquids only for another day, then mushies. Don't forget that you guys have to be able to tolerate dense Protein or you are too tight. Make sure you do liquids a couple days after your fill. Hope you feel better soon!

I'm hoping for my 3rd fill tomorrow, Dec 11. My doctor wants too keep me at about 2 pounds a week whether you're hungry or not. He wants you to work at this weight control by adjusting in your brain and making wise choices. I almost begged for my 2nd fill. I'm close to 6 pounds of weight loss since my last fill, so I'm short 2 pounds. I'm hoping and keeping my fingers crossed that I receive my 3rd.

Best wishes

        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
