one out of two ain't bad....



Recommended Posts

well, my partner and I went to the surgeon this morning. I wasn't expecting a fill (our surgeries were October 6th), but he thought it was a good idea. Mine was no problem. I have a 10 cc band and he put in 4 cc's. I feel no restriction at all, but we'll see what happens. My partner, on the other hand, had trouble. The doctor could not feel the port. He sent her for an x-ray to make sure it hadn't flipped. It hadn't, but it had tipped just enough and is under enough of her body that he couldn't feel it. He tried a couple more times and decided he would wait and do hers under fluoroscope. Made sense. She is, of course, very disappointed. He said that once he gets it the first time he does not anticipate any future problems. Anyone ever have this happen?

Hi Lainer...

as a WISE man once said GO SLOW!!!!!!

I though I was bullett proof too, until about 3 days after my first fill, that turned out to be a humbling experience. Take it easy:hungry:

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
