Yeah Fill!!!!



Recommended Posts

Fill, Fill, he's my man... if he can't do it... NOBODY can!!! :banana

Since I very rarely start a new thread unless I have something to complain about... I thought I would share some happy news!

I went today for my second fill in my second band... and I am happy, no thrilled, to report that my doc was able to pull out everything bit of saline (1.3cc) that she put in 7 weeks ago. Yeah!!! This new band is holding the saline, no leaks here baby! She was also able to stick me the first time, which is now two in a row and something she was only successful doing when I layed on my side with the first band. And lastly, I am now at 2cc's. This is the most fill that I have had in either band, so I am really hoping I have some restriction I can work with... maybe there is hope for me yet and I can take off a few pounds over the holiday, while those around me are gaining... HA!!! :):):D

Sorry... I am just feeling very good about my whole experience today. I am on fluids for the next 2 days, but the time should go by fast. I was 237.4 on the doctors scale today, so in the last 7 weeks I have been losing and gaining the same 3+ pounds. I CAN'T wait to be a LOSER!!

I hope everyone has a great day and thanks for letting me share.

It does allow you to breathe a sigh of relief, doesn't it? Once you've had a broken band, it's like you're walking on eggshells, waiting for the next shoe to drop.

That's great news! Now maybe we both can get back to the task at hand!! Woohoo!!

Thanks so much Vera, Michelle, Betty and Leatha! I am breathing a sigh of relief and keeping my fingers and toes crossed that 2cc's will be nice restriction for me. I can't wait to see the scale going down.

I appreciate your well wishes.

You all make me feel so good... I should have checked in earlier today... back when my stomach was growling and I was wondering if I could go another day on fluids. Your well wishes (thanks Marie, Margie, Pam and Michelle (ShellyJ)) plus Greg's post to give me a great laugh would have definitely kept my mind off being so hungry.

Thank goodness for watered down canned Turkey Chili blended smooth and thin... it even beats out creamy Soups.

Thanks again everyone... this is such a great site and you are all so wonderful. I am glad I can come here for support and advise. I don't know what I would do with out YOU!!! (((Hugs))) :banana :banana :banana

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
