3 mo post op second fill



Recommended Posts

Had my second fill today Fluid removed to confirm no loss than returned and 4 more cc's added I misunderstood the amount that was added on my first fill I thought it had been 5cc's but the Doctor said that he put in 5 then drew off to 2, that now explains why I was feeling no restriction, the doctor said that my progress since surgery has been excellent a total of 41# since surgery and 71# since being approved. I have been in a kind of a stall for the last 2 weeks 220# but up one day down the next day. I hope this fill will let me get below 200 I now have 6cc in a 11cc band.

Doctor knows best :)

Keep your eye on those soft stop signals. They're hard to see or feel in the beginning. Good job!

You are doing great! My surgeon doesn't share the amount of my fills so I have no idea. But whatever we are doing seems to be working. Also sometimes when the scale isn't moving that's right when I notice other things, like pants too loose and time for a new size. Keep your eyes on the non-scale victories as those can be really motivating. Best wishes!

      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.
