No fills for 3 month postop



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I had my 5 week postop check up with my surgeon yesterday and I was ready to hear the news that he wants to do a fill. I had lost 22 lbs all together (9lb pre-op +8 lb during first week postop+5 lbs from week 2-5) and I thought that the 5 lbs/4 weeks will be too slow. He said that he would have been happy with at least 0.5 lb/week and no fill needed at this point. I am very happy as I do not get hungry between meals (I eat something every 3 hours) and finally, my eating habits came close to normal and did not want to experience a too tight band. Additionally, I was cleared for more vigorous exercise including tennis :) I cannot wait to get back on the court.

sounds like you are doing really well. I was banded in January and have not had even one fill as I am also not hungry between means and can eat band sized portions and stay satiated. You may be one of the lucky ones. Also...I'm also doing great with the weight loss. 80 lbs including the preop diet.

Thank you! Congratulations on your weight loss!

      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.
