Recommended Posts

:scared2:I got my lap band in Nov of 2006 and I lost almost a hundred pounds by Nov of 2007. Then got pregnant. I had my baby august of this year. I went back for my band fill and have had nothing but problems. The first fill the dr sd he wasnt sure if he got it in or not but he put 3 cc and told me to eat liquids all week. by the end of that week I was starving so I called him back and he said well maybe it didn't go in. so he re did the fill for 2 more cc and the same thing so he sent me to the hospital for a fluro fill and this time it took. By the time I got home I had a small glass of Water and it was not working i want6ed to just throw up. could not keep nothign down. By the next day was very sick called the doctor then then had me admitted and deflated. Two weeks later I got reinflated and the same thing I am so restricted on 2 cc. I am sitting here can barely drink water want to throw up and can not even eat food. It has been 3 days sisnce my fill and I have not been able to eat anything. What is going on???? Anyone have any ideas b/c my dr sure teh hell dont....please advice...

well u obviously need to get unfilled. for some reason, there is too much restriction with 2 cc's. give ur body time to relax after ur pregnancy. good luck! be patient!

Did you feel you needed a fill or did you just get one cause you thought you need to lose weight. If you think you need to lose weight you have to go easy on yourself you just had a baby. I would get an unfill and focus on eating fruit, vegies, dairy and animal Protein so you and your baby, if your still breast feeding, keep in good health. I have no kids but I remember hearing somewhere it takes a year for your body to go back to normal after a baby.

      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. 🤞
