I was banded on the 8th and will get my first fill also on the 27th and I think I could have used it at least a week ago. Probably not medically wise a week ago?

Right now it feels just like any other diet. My history with diets ain't to good!!!!!

Sorry to disappoint all of you, but you probably won't feel any different after your first fill, or your second or even your third fill. (Of course, it depends on how aggressive your doctor is with fill amounts.) You are entering into what is commonly known as bandster hell. Hang in there though. Just stick with your plan, eat your Protein and drink your Water and it will work out.

I was banded on 6/20 and have since lost 19 pounds and a total of 39 since May 1st. I went to see my Dr to have my first fill. After filling out the questionnaire he told me I don't need a fill yet... He said as long as I'm losing a 1 to 1.5 pounds per week I don't need a fill and according to the questionnaire i'm in the green zone. So for who are not getting your fills are you not considered in the green zone? Are you feeling hungry? My Dr placed the largest band and I thought for sure I would need a fill!

Just a reminder-every doctor has his own protocol. Most won't do your first fill until at least 6 weeks post op to give your body time to heal and surgical swelling to go down.

I have had a total of 6 fills. I am still not in the green! Each fill was 1cc and I have an 11cc band! Hopefully next fill will bring some restriction! GL!!!

      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. 🤞
