I had my second fill during TOM and I had absolutely no problem.

I can't eat hardly anything before and during my cycle. I have learned the hard way. So I have made a personal decision NOT to have my fills during this time. I have some friends on another thread who also have trouble eating during "TOM". Do you have trouble while TOM is visiting? If you do, don't get your fill at that time.

I haven't had my TOM since banding. I am due next week, just like you. I am also due for my fill next week, just like you. I can only hope that neither of us have trouble! I guess we both had better take it slow to avoid sliming or PBing.

I really don't think it will matter much with the first fill. They put very little in the first time. After that, it might be a problem.

slim, you won't notice much of a difference with the first fill. (I know because we have the same doctor and he doesn't put much in the first time). I have had 3 fills and they have all been around my TOM and I have had no problems. I guess it is different for everyone.

I do not think it matters , I had my fill this Sunday and it was that TOM , but the good news is that since i was banded a month ago I had two cycles ... which I never had before before starting to lose weight which shows that my body is starting to get normalized .... :-) :laugh:

        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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
