I'm beginning to think I'm weird' date=' I was banded 7/15 and have lost 21lbs. I had my first fill 8/29, lost 3lbs after that but have not lost anything since. I can eat my cup of food and not be hungry for 3 hours so I think I might be green or at least getting close. I see people on the fill board who have had 3 or 4 fills already but I don't think I need another one. Am I weird or should I just be enjoying this?[/quote']

I have had 4 fills and one was too much at one time. I felt I was in the green for about 4 days after my last fill but now I can eat more and dont notice restriction. So I go back on Tuesday. I'm getting close I think!! Have you tried upping your calories by 100. I have been told to do that when I get stuck.

I am trying to do that now. Hopefully the scale will start to move again. I have 2.5cc's in a 10cc band. I don't feel hungry so I will see how it goes.

Msgal congrats to you. fills are a piece of cake.. If I'm honest the last one hurt a bit more I thought the thinner I got it would sting/pinch less.. Not so. But I'm the big scheme nothing compared to all the skeletal and muscular misery I was in. glad your doing so well

Well 2.5 months post op.....down 54 lbs.

Some days I feel super hungry, other days I am not hungry.

Had 5.5ccs in, but I got a sinus infection and had a LOT of drainage. When they say it will clog the opening, let me tell you it will. If you have bad sinus problems keep some liquid mucinex on hand.....that is what the doc told me. Also they say some pure pineapple juice will help break it up.

The doctor had to remove .5cc of saline to relieve the pressure.

So, to try and breath a little life back into this thread, how about people let us know how you're doing. It can be a few words or a few paragraphs.

Me? 7 fills, at $250 a pop and still not really losing. A bit pissed that I did this but time will tell. Last one seemed to help with feeling full with less food. First time since I started this process.

Ok?

GO!

I was banded 13th July, only had 1 fill so far. Lost 49lbs so far. Steadily at 2 pounds a week for the last month or so. Aiming to lose another stone before Christmas though. Hardly ever hungry & managing to stay on track almost every day. So doing pretty well.

Hope everyone is doing well :)

Xx

      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.
