When did you get your fill???

Sorry, I missed your post on Friday ;)

I know that fills can sometimes take a week or 2 to kick in.... if its only been a few days - you might need to give it time?

When I feel like this on my "slacker" days... I NEED to up my Fluid intake... it really helps... make sure you are drinking enough.

The last fill I had took about 2 weeks before it got to this restriction - it's been like this for about 2 months now. It sort of creeped up on me lol !

If it were me, i'd wait a while, give it time to work.

Hope this helps a wee bit

I was filled on 4/7/04 at first i had really good restriction. I go back to the doc on 4/20/04 for a check up and a fill that is almost two weeks do you think that is long enough?

2 weeks should probably be enough time as your fill was relatively small.

I have 3.75 ml in my band & it's a perfect restriction for me. I know that everyone is different - but it might give you a rough guide as to much much you might need?

Have you only got 1cc in your band in total?

I know that the more Fluid you have in your band - then even the tinyest amount can make a world of difference.

im from the UK, but I "think" the ready meal sizes are the same???

In the morning I have 1 weetabix or 1 handfull of Cereal with semi skimmed milk

lunch I have 2 brown bread with cold meat

dinner I have either a "ready meal for one" (mostly manage all of it - but sometimes only 3/4) or 1/2 chicken breast with 2 baby potatoes & a little veg.

If I get hungry at night, I have a yoghurt or a tin of Soup.

I try to drink as much fluids as possible... that certainly keeps the hunger at bay.

Is there a difference between cc & ml ??

      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.
