Hey everyone!!! Just wanted to say that today I got my 3rd adjustment. I am now up to 7cc in my 9cc band. After getting my adjustment this morning, I could (right on the spot) feel a big difference. I could actually feel the Water stall for a couple seconds and then could feel it going through. It was such a wonderful feeling.:tt1:

I have lost a whole pound just since going to the Doctor this morning. I really hope that this time we have found my "sweet spot" and the weight will start falling off.

Sounds great, just remember to eat s-l-o-w-l-y and chew, chew chew. Getting stuck and sliming are no fun so don't let yourself get too hungry. Thats when I have a tendency to eat too fast and have problems. You will learn quickly whatyou can and cannot do, good luck.

Lucky you! My doc fills very slowly! I was banded a month before you and only have around 3.5cc's in my 10cc band.

I go in for my 3rd fill this Thursday.

Have you been losing slowly?

THat is so good! I just had my 4th fill on Friday the 3rd and I hear you about the Water. Now I understand when they say, "don't gulp your water". I've lost 3 lbs since my fill on Friday (can't update my ticker because i forgot my password)

I hope this feeling lasts for a long time!

I was banded on August 1, 2008 and I went today for my 2 month checkup and he did not give me a fill this month either. I have not had a fill yet cause I lost 20 lbs the 1st month and I had lost 14 lbs this month so he said I did not need a fill yet. I am okay with that though. I wish I would never need a fill and could loose all of my weight with just the band restriction. My doc said right now I am actually running in line with his gastric bypass patients, but he told me not to get overly excited cause it will slow down now. I hope he is wrong though.

I'd say more of on the lines of not losing at all. I had no restriction at all until yesterday actually very little yesterday. Today, well it's 9:20 a.m. and I have been up for 3 1/2 and I'm not even hungry yet. Hopefully that means that the RESTRICITON has really sat in and I will start losing the weight now.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
