If you're not too tight, why have some fill removed? Maybe talk to the psychologist in your team? Anxiety wasn't my direct issue, but a LOT of emotions are triggered as we lose weight and they are due not only to mental changes (self-esteem, identity issues) but also due to hormonal changes that happen when so much fat is released from our bodies so quickly. Please think carefully about reducing your fill unless you really believe you are too tight. Your surgeon will be able to advise you upon examination and listening to your symptoms.

I wish you the best and much success! You've lost a lot so far!

I've been told stress and anxiety can make it feel like the band is too tight.. So I feel like it's a vicious circle, I'm going to speak with my doc tomorrow and ask him what he recommends and I will make an app to see the psychologist.. I was prepared for the weight loss and the big change in diet but I wasn't expecting these feelings????

Thanks for the support x

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
