Any July 07 Bandsters not filled yet?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I thought i'd get filled today, but no luck:rolleyes. Doctor says weight is coming off nicely so no fill yet. I go back in two weeks. Problem - I'm getting hungry and have been eating more in the past week than I think I should. I am still losing though. I feel like I'm the only one not filled yet. Anybody else out there banded in July and not filled yet?

Hi Sue

I was banded 7-16 and haven't had a fill yet. I was banded in Mexico and when I tried to make an appt. for a fill with a local doctor, I was informed he was leaving and they didn't have anyone to take his place. So, I got on the phone and called every bariatric surgeon within a 100 mile radius and finally found one. But, he was on vacation so I have to wait until the 21st. I am finding my self eating more and more. And I am getting FRUSTRATED.

Thanks Kirajh. Stinks to being hungry doesn't it! Hope the 21st comes fast. I'm now waiting until the 26th. Hoping it happens then. I guess we should just remember that we didn't put it on overnight and it will take time for it to come off. I hope for both of us that the delay doesn't mean some weight gain. I'm going to keep on walking my butt off (3 - 4 miles per day) and I'm going to bed early so that I don't go to the fridge too many times. Good night and good luck.

Hi, I'm a June Bandster (21st) and still have not been filled yet. Many of my band sisters have had four and I think has had five fills already. I truly think I'm the only one who hasn't had a fill of my group.

I've had one fill so far but I have no restriction. I've gained back all my preop weight loss. It's so frustrating! I have to wait another 2 weeks for another fill.

I was banded July 27, 2007 and just had my first fill last week. Restriction is WAY there, I am still doing liquids after the fill and will continue until who knows. I did try to eat Friday I think and was a no go... so shakes I continue.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
