Finding restriction the second time around?!?!?



Recommended Posts

Holly, I had plastic surgery on tummy, breast lift these done together then 4 months later had my arms done and didn't have to have any Fluid removed. I guess everything depends on the plastic surgeon and their experiences with weight loss patients. I didn't have any problems. The plastic surgeon wasn't sure if she would have to reposition the port or not (she didn't) however my bariatrics surgeon said if she did that she could call him (they work at the same hosptial) and he would pop in and do it. He popped in anyway during the surgery just to see what was going on :)

Great topic. I'm curious to read others responses. I had a complete unfill in April 2013. I was at 6.7 cc's before the unfill. I could immediately feel the difference within 2 hours after unfill I was eating huge portions. I did have slight discomfort from overheating but that was it. In all honesty 6.7 was probably too tight but I had great restriction and control. I'm now at 6.0. First fill was about 3 weeks ago PA gave me 5 cc's. had another fill Friday which brings me to 6.0. I still need more fills to get back to where I was feeling like I had restriction. I've gain 17 pounds in the last month. I've lost about three of those pounds. I feel like I'm not even banded I have NO RESTRICTION, I'm flying solo. I'm do exercise regularly and have gone back to basic, Protein protein protein. My real problem is just bing able to eat too much.... I know that's the problem for all of us.
