I am a rare case, according to my nutritionist :) I only had the band, no plication. I have also had no fills. My doc told me I have some Fluid in the band from the surgery, but he doesn't know how much. He is amazed by my success. I don't know who grins bigger during my appointments. All that said...my weight loss is slowing down, my appetite is picking up and I am expecting my first fill either this month or next. And, I am NOT stressing out about it.

However, on this forum, I am not so rare. There are others like me :)

Sillyaunt... wonderful weight loss!!! How many cc's do you have in your band and is your band with plication?

I had five cc in my band when it was installed. I have had one adjustment, had 1/2 cc put in and I am pretty much in my green zone and happy as a clam. I kind of wish I had known about plication, before I had my surgery as it sounds intriguing. Ah well, I'm doing fine as is. :)

Banded 7/1/13 down 87 lbs. Have about 60 more to get to goal but I'll get there :) I work out 5-6 days a week. I have changed so much inside and out and all for the better (although some may disagree bc now I take even less crap then I did ore band lol )

Hi there :) I was banded on 03/24/11 and am down 146 pounds. I lost 145 slowly and without any excersize whatsoever, because I am lazy. My body has refused to lose anymore without it so I finally began excersizing a few days ago and already feel better. I feel like I have got to reach the 150 mark by my 3 year bandiversary. Good luck to you with whatever WLS you choose.

      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.

      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.
