Wheezy Whispers-AKA September's Goals



Recommended Posts

I'm beginning to think that the TLBC is better organized as far as fills. My Dr. just told me that I should probably think about scheduling a fill at about 6 weeks. I called to make the appointment but they could not fit me in at 6 weeks, so I am waiting 7 weeks. After the first fill I guess it's up to me.

Hey Wheezy....I have a 10cc band and my first fill was 5ccs (of course, unbeknownst to me - or them- at the time, none of it actually went in...but that is another story!). All that to say that at TLBC, they generally give you a first fill of 5ccs unless you tell them you are already feeling some restriction.

Thanks Yoda, I guess I'll just have to see when I get there. I'm anxious to get my first fill. I haven't lost any weight for 4 weeks.

Some day when you feel like it, I would like to know about your fill not going in you band

Hey Wheezy...I was like that too...scale wouldn't move for a long time and then I'd drop....in fact, that is still the way it works for me. Grrrr. But I try and appreciate the little wins! Anyhoooo, below are two threads that explain my fill saga. The first one with the fill probs I had and the second one explains the "missing" 5ccs. hehe. Of course, since then I have had my fill under fluro (bringing me to 7ccs) and all is well in fill land now. Not sure yet if I'm at my "sweet spot" but I'm waiting to see first before I get another fill. I don't want to be too tight (looks at Argon!). :nervous

Thanks Yoda for the explanation. What a story!!!! I don't think that I would endure 20 and 30 tries. You must be a very patient person.

We'll I weighed myself today and again no weight loss. October will be a better month after my first fill.

Today I can't stop eating. I haven't stopped since I got home frome work. This is what it was like before the band, it's all coming back to me now.

The actual spreadsheet is way cooler... it shows the difference in your weight, and BMI as you go along.. and it also charts it.

If you guys want, I can see if there's a way for me to attach the Excel 'template' I used to a post... if not, I could email it to you. You gotta have 'Excel' though.

And thank you :)

(I just tried, it won't let me attach the file. If you'd like it, PM me your address and I'll email it to you!)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
