Hi Flirty, your not on you own with being able to eat bread, I still can, and my daughter who has 8.75ml in her band has always been able to do so, - but she has still lost weight, as long as the weight is still coming off, its got to be a good thing, it means no one suspects you have a band, and you can lead a normal social life, Sian can eat up to 4 slices without feeling uncomfortable, but is usually quite happy with 2 slices. I'm not to sure how being pregnant will affect her band but over the last 3 months she has managed to put on 2lb, so she's not looking for an unfill untill week 30 by the look of it.

Hi mmm thats brilliant imagine on 2lb on and im sure shes thrilled she doesnt have to be unfilled yet... Do u know what size of band she has its great to hear of someone else who has alot in their band i feel like the odd one out lol did it take her long to reach restriction or was it only when she got up to 8.75mls? Sorry for all the questions just i dont really have anyone to ask as no one here has as much as me at the min its also great to hear im not the only one who can eat bread i was really starting to worry incase there was something wrong with my band... Thanks so much for that reply im not as worried now x

You're very welcome Gillian cheers2.gif

Flirty thats great news from Mmm isnt it, I bet you were starting to panic werent you.

And I was thinking about what you said before about the weight you'd lost, well the surgeon told my daughter when she loses weight her organs also get smaller and the band would then be a lot looser, so yes I have heard that before. rabbit2.gif

She had .5ml one month after being banded, then 2ml 3 months later, then when the surgeon was happy she had healed properly they arranged a fill under xray, she drank barium meal whilst they tightened the band, they could then see how quickly or slowely things were passing through her band, the total volume she required was 8.75ml, she has the same band as us max 9ml, and the surgeon confirmed that the more weight you lost or the smaller you are are the more fill you require (that why the band dont give a very good result on lower bmi or less that 35).

The other very strange thing he said was if Sian reached the full 9ml capacity, and stopped loosing weight he could still make the band work if she had an unfill for about 2 weeks then re-filled it again, dont know why that works, but he's prepared to do it free of charge so as long as it works its got to be good news

Wishfull, Mum seemed back to her old self yesterday, but had accidently puuled the needle out of her hand, that was feeding the saline into her. So the staff nurse stopped the drip, I think she'd had enough and they didnt want to try putting the needle in again, as her veins keep collapsing.

They just have to keep giving her loads of fluids and maybe by Friday she will be well enough to be moved to the nursing home.

Thanx for asking chick thumbelina.gif

Hi Freckles, was so pleased to hear the good news about your Mum, hope you are doing ok too, bigsister x

        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
