Hey Poma,

I live in So Cal also, Inland Empire though. Don't get frustrated with slow weight loss, as long as its a loss and not a gain your moving in the right direction :smile: I think the biggest thing helping me to lose is my excersizing, I joined curves and I walk on my treadmill at home.

I'd like to know how your fill went, I am scheduled for the 28th and I am looking forward to it, yet i am also nervous about it as well. I just don't know what to expect, everyones MD's seem to do things a little bit differently.

Greyhoundgirl.

I had my first fill today and it was pretty quick and easy. Apparently my doc had put 2 cc's when I had my surgery. The whole thing was done in literally a few minutes. My doctor had me hunch over and he found my port. I felt a small prick and he pulled out the Fluid that was in and then added 2 more cc's to bring me to a total of 4 cc's. It was cool seeing it done and the Fluid in my band was blue!!!

It really wasn't bad at all and I was surprised at how quick and easy it was.

Hi all.. so glad there is this room. I am 29 alomost 30 no kids and looking for bandster friends. I have not yet had the operation yet. I went in and everything has been sent to INC. So its a waiting game untill I find out. I am excited but also freaking about the idea of surgery. I know I need to do something drastic but I dont think the full bypass is for me. Anyway does anyone have any advice for pre op and post?

:) Dont give up on me....

Pick Me! Pick Me! I'm 29 years old, no children and I too live in southern Cali - well central Cali - Depends on who you ask. I live in Kern County about 2 hrs north of LA.

I was banded on 2/13/09. So just 11 days before you. I've only lost 20 lbs so far and am a little frustrated as well. I have had one fill - I think I'm ready for another - but my Doc wouldn't give me one when I went in this past weekend.

I would LOVE to befriend you - I want someone to share this process with too. :wub:

Hey Sara, who's your MD? I had surgery with Dr. Krahn. He also see's patients in the Riverside/Corona area.

I am a self-pay heading down to Mexico.. Ole!

Dr. Ortiz will be my surgeon. But I am looking for Dr.'s here in the IE for geographic conveniences.

Hey there,

I just got my first fill on monday and I'm a bit upset. I'm getting used to the whole chewing really good so that the food doesn't get stuck in my chest thing, but I still don't have restriction. At least I don't feel like I do. I think I should give it a chance but I am feeling like regretting getting the band instead of the gastric because of the maintanence after. When is a good time for the next fill? Should I give it a chance to set in a few weeks first?

And yes, I belch too. Lol

Hi! I'm 35, single, no kids.... I was banded on 3/30! I can't wait to hear how your first fill goes!

I'm belching soooo much since my surgery! eek! Did this happen to you? I'm hoping it goes away soon!

Hi from Arizona!

Hey Poma,

My doc told me to come back in a week or two if I still felt hungry all the time. I'm gonna wait until mid next week and if I'm still hungry I'll go in for another fill.

I say wait it out a bit and see how you feel. If you're still hungry then go for the fill.

        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
