small fills during weight loss period normal?



Recommended Posts

So I went for my 6th...yes 6th fill today ( i was banded 3/18/08) and the PA made me feel like i am a little crazy....Since being banded i have lost 42 lbs (half way to my goal).....At my 4th fill I started to get .2 cc every 3 weeks or every 6 lbs...(anything more then that is too much and I have had to have some removed... Well I though small adjustments were normal at the losing stage.... the PA thinks i might be becoming a little obsessed....I do believe that everyone has a personal comfort level that they like there band...i think i am more sucessful when my band is on the tighter end of the spectrum....has anyone experience something similar?

Getting nervous that something might be wrong...

Gabby I think you are doing amazing, 42 lbs in 5 months OMG I think the PA is crazy. If you have found a system of fills that works for you what the hell do you care what she thinks. Keep up the great work!

Sounds like you are taking care of business. I got my band on Jan 18,08. I have lost 60 lbs. My first few fills were 1.5 and 1.0, then on my 3rd I got .5 and really had to adjust. I have had a total 6.0cc injected , Funny, I don't feel like I have as much restriction as I once did. But I eat a 1/2 cup salad 3oz meat and 1/2 wheat brd and that will last me for about 6-7 hours. don't get hungry but what I eat has a tendancy to last a lot longer. I try to go 45-60 min. before I drink anything. i have gone from 206 to 145. I have to fight for every lb. I walk 6 miles at a time and do the gym 4x week. I will be happy with 4lb/month now. and then maintain.

You guys keep up the good work. Use that tool!!:smile:

      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'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
