No Fill Today;-(



Recommended Posts

I went for my 4th fill today but I didn't get one....I follow up every month. So I weighed 299 in April & I went today I weighed 285 a total of 14.5lbs loss. I felt like I needed a fill though...i eat right & go to the gym 4/week....has anyone been at this point?

She said their expected weight loss was between 5-7lbs & I loss 14.5 In a month time. My Water weight was low meaning I wasn't getting in enough water so she told me to increase my intake to 5 20oz per day

14.5 in a month's time is nothing to scoff at. If you're losing 3lbs and change a week, that's spot on progression. You're probably in your green zone, just keep doing what you're doing. It's working.

I think you should only be getting fills if you're super hungry between meals. You're losing weight great! No worries. If hunger starts to creep in there after your getting the correct fluids, then you can talk to them again. You're doing so great!

Oh dear, if you're losing 14 lbs a month, that's very rapid weight loss. I bet a pound of fat just melted right off of you while I wrote this message!

Please remember this is a marathon and not a sprint. I know you wanted a fill, but if you're losing weight like that, you are well on your way!

And remember, haters gonna hate and bandsters, they gonna lose weight!!!

I agree with everyone. You are doing great, but you do need to drink at least 64 ounces a day. Get as much or more in and it will help you feel full too! Don't get fills just to get fills. Let the band work for you. Keep it up!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
