Hi all,

I had a fill today. First in 2 years. Apparently I have a 10ml ring and I'm at 6ml today.

Came home, had some drinking yogurt. Took me about 30 mins to drink 150ml, tried coffee a while later, not much luck.

My esophagus has a bubbly sensation and is making funny noises.

Will this go away? Will die of embarrassment in public. Dreading solids if this is how I react to liquids.

Doc is so far. Only three in the country

I do let everything rest for a day or two.

For me, if liquids are difficult and I haven't had solids beforehand ... I am considering a small unfill.

Once my band is irritated, nothing works but Protein Drinks or bars for a day or so. Then I ease into food

Let us know. And best of luck...

Ps where are you located w/ 3 Drs doing fills??

Where in SA are you? I had to have unfill and desperately need to start over, petrified I am going to gain, my loss has been so slow!

I get that bubbly sensation if I am too full! I'm in PE so doctors are very far away!

Hi Jimpal, so happy to hear from a fellow South African. That's exactly what I did so I drove all the way to get a fill. Still regretting it a bit, so full and sore. If you feel the device grinding your guts it's terrible.

As far as I know they Only have surgeons in CT, PTA and Benoni.

Went to the doc again today. He removed 1.5 ml. The pain went away immediately.

Ugh but now I only have a 0.5ml fill which will probably not make much of a difference.

I'm in Krugersdorp.

      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
