Hello

Dont panic I had my 1st feel and went back a few weeks later as I couldn't feel anything, and was think "god trust me to be the one this wont work for", I was eating anything and when I say anything I was!!!! I had even put weight on I was gutted.

My surgeon had put in my band 5 (ml cc ??what ever it is) (my band is 14) but I could eat any thing, so he topped me up to 8 and made me go and try some yogurt and Water, My god what a different, he had to take me back in to his room to remove half so now I have had 2 fills am 7.5 and now can tell the band is working.

I was starting to wonder if he had took my money and just drew a few lines on my belly to make me think he had done the op, but like he said puting in that 8ml cc??? and me feeling how tight it was with just Water made me know he had done the job and how the band can work.

Ring your hospital up and go back only you know how you feel.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
