Recommended Posts

So over a week ago I had a fill and every since I'm not able to keep stuff down. I'll throw it up milk, Water each and everything. But within 7 days I've lost 11 lbs. Went from 250lbs to 239.8lbs I know it isnt healthy but I haven't been in the 230's in over 6 1/2 yrs. I won't be able to go to the doctor until nxt Tuesday 4/15/2014 .

this is more than unhealthy...it's dangerous. is the doctor aware you cannot keep any food or liquids down? you can become dehydrated and go into organ failure. really. no joke here. call the doctor...or better yet, go to the emergency room.

I can completely understand that desire with the results of losing weight but yeah it's definitely not something to toy with. Especially if you can't even keep liquids down. Are you doing super small sips?

Definitely try to get in to see your doctor as soon as possible. Did you tell them that you can't keep liquids down? Is there a NP on site that can help with an unfill? Not from personal experience, but from what I've read, it'll be hit or miss if the ER will have a knowledgeable doctor that will know how to unfill. Google and look up signs for dehydration. The ER can definitely help with that at least.

I know you love this magical quick weight loss but go see your doc asap!!

      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. 🤞
