Chris,

I know you've been waiting what feels like forever for today. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that all goes well for you. Keep positive and remember to talk to your dr and team about what's going on besides weight loss. It's not all about pounds but also about how you feel.

Let us know how it goes for you.

I got my fill! Ok . . .it's a small one . . . he had 3 cc in my 10cc band . . .and backed it off to 1.5cc because I was burping as I was drinking my Water .. .I go back in a month for a possible 2nd fill. He had a hard time finding the port .. . and even made the comment that I might be one of the sonigram people . . . but after changing the needle and starting again (ughhhh) . . .he got it . . . trying to sit up while the stupid needle is stuck in you isn't fun either. Anyway . . . I hope this help and gets things moving in a DOWNWARD fashion! :tt1:

Good for you. If nothing else, it feels like progress. My PA had trouble finding my port also....she said it was really shallow and I didn't have a fat layer over it. I had to giggle...I have fat everywhere but where you expect it I guess. She said she was actually in it the whole 10 minutes she was fishing but that she must have been backed into the wall because it wouldn't do anything.

Did you have any fill from surgery. I had 3 cc's I believe. PA said it was to help seat it as it healed and then she added some. I'm not keeping track of my total fill level. I figure it doesn't matter how much I have in there, just how much good it is doing.

I'm sure you're much more relieved than last appointment. Keep telling us how you're doing.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        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.

      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!
