I have lost 13 lbs since surgery 5/13 and I have my 1st post-op doctors visit tomorrow where he will decide if I will get my first fill. If not he goes away and I won't get one until JULY!!!!!! I am praying for the early fill to jump start my weight lose only lost 2 lbs since starting mushy's.

Glad to be a part of the May 2008 banders. I was banded in Chattanooga TN last Thursday, May 29. As of this morning, I have lost 8 pounds since surgery.

I'm excited about finally starting to feel better and getting to use the band to it's full potential. I've got a long road ahead, but I am glad to finally get started!

Thanks ladies!! :cursing:

The only bad thing is - my surgeon said that since I am doing so well, I may not need a fill on the 3rd of July...she said, we'll see. BUT she may be right, I do still have a good amount of restriction from being filled during surgery. I just hope I continue on this pace and I do want to start exercising!

Good luck to everyone else..I hope we continue to do really well!

:smile: Anyone having trouble with obsessively weighing yourself! The weight bouncing back and forth between 3 pounds is starting to mess with my head. Logically I know this is normal, however, it affects my attitude. I have gone 3 days without weighing. I am going to try and only weigh once a week ( or no more than 2 or 3 or 4 times, haha!)

Yes, Miss Mellis, I feel the same way. :tt1: I should be happy that in less than a month I have lost 18lbs... I want more!! :angry:. I have been being very hard on myself because the scale hasn't moved in about a week. It is probably my body adjusting to my new weight. Once a week sounds like a good plan!!:lol:

I went for my first fill today and I told the doctor that I wasn't eating very much at all. But when he looked on the floroscope, I was completely open.

So, he started off with 4 ccs (his usual first fill) but when I drank the barium nothing went through and boy did my chest hurt from the reflux. So, he first took our 1cc, then another. So, I got 2 total. And boy, do I feel the restriction. I can barely get down my Protein drink. Supposedly, it will loosen just a bit in a couple of days......that's why liquids for 2 days and then mushies for two days after the fill.

He told me to make an appointment to see him in 4 weeks, but no fill appointment as he thinks I may not need another at this point.

He was thrilled with my weight loss, and I have to fix my siggy to show another lost pound +.

      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.
