Fill or no Fill/Cruise in 28 days!



Recommended Posts

This is silly, but I really need the advise. I was filled in May and was too tight. I have lost weight since then and am now eating like crazy. My next dr. appt. is on the 9th (two days) and I am not sure what to do. I have been at my current weight for at least three weeks now (bouncing btwn about 4 pounds). I know I need a slight! fill, but am not sure I want to do that before the cruise. Any advice out there. This is the first time I have ever been out of the country.

BTW... My husband gets banded one week before I leave.... He would not put it off and it's a girl cruise.

Pray for us!

I would get a small fill. I got a fill 2 weeks ago and I am back to normal now. I have restriction but I'm not too tight. You have 28 days to see how it feels and you can go in for an unfill before the cruise if it is too tight.

Good luck to you and your husband. I will keep you both in my prayers.

Shelly,

I agree with Jill. 28 days is a long enough way off that you could get a bit unfilled if you're still uncomfortable after a couple of weeks. Think how much you could get off before the cruise! Sounds like a great motivator to me!

Good luck to your hubby. Hope things go well!

I agree with the above, you'll have lots of time to unfill if you're too tight before you go .... although if you want to indulge a bit on your cruise I wouldn't. I know, I know, we're here for weightloss, but sometimes it's nice not to worry about only eating a tablespoon for supper on vacation! So to indulge or not to indulge - that is the question.

I would change your appointment until after the cruise. I'd hate to be out in the middle of the ocean with problems. You never you know you might lose weight with all the activities they have on there. I went on a cruise about 15 years ago and had a ball. Enjoy!
