Had my third fill today



Recommended Posts

and it went great. i am up to 4.7cc in my 10cc band. I have not lost much in the last couple of weeks but I had lost about 5 the week before that. It seems that I lose 3-5 overnight then nothing for a couple of weeks. I am expecting my period any moment now so between that getting over with and the fill today I am expecting a nice drop over the next couple of weeks. This would be nice because I am so freaking close to getting into the next size down - sort of in between sizes right now!! I hope everyone is well and is staying healthy!! Dh is offshore diving right now ans wont be home for two more months. My goal is to lose 15 more pounds before he gets home.

You've had 3 fills!? I'm liking your doctor right now! My conservative doc has my first fill scheduled for this week (6 weeks out).

Good luck on your goal! Sounds like you are doing great.

I was able to go in at 4 weeks for my first then it is every 2-4 weeks afterwards. I waited two weeks for my second fill and three for my third.

Wow, I have only had one fill so far. I know that this may sound funny but right now I don't have a lot of restriction and I'm about 2 weeks from getting my second fill, so I am surviving off will power and I like it that way. Now don't get my wrong, I would like it if I had more restriction but being this way also makes me deal with my food addictions.

Well I was banded on 10th January and like Brez I have to wait till 10th April to get my first fill. Doc was pleased with my progress but said if I was eating recommended quantities and not feeling hunger then he would leave the fill till next time.

      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.

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