Hi everyine, I have been away for a few months. I was banded on 03/06/07. I have had several fills, a total of 3.0 cc's. My doctor gives 2 to 4 cc's at at time. My last fill was first week of April. I am having a difficult time this last week keeping several different foods down. I started at 272 and I am down to 219. I am able to drink plenty of liquids. Is this normal what i am going through. do you think it is just a poor choice in foods. I take a bite of something and i actually wait about 15 to 20 minutes before i take another. I have not lost anything since my last fill, I have actually gained 2 lbs. I beleive I get tire of throwing up so I eat something soft that goes down easily. Just looking fo some great advice. Thanks!! :sad:

I have not had any fills yet - because I am fearful of this happening (and lots of other things).

But when I do, I would have to say, I would call right away for an unfill if I could not eat without getting sick. Is this how other fills worked for you? You have done so well losing weight in the past - I am guessing that you were able to eat and lose the weight.

Please call and have the doctor remove some Fluid so you can eat more normally. You will feel better and probably be able to lose weight again. Your body won't be in starvation mode.

I hope you feel better.

      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. 🤞
