Hi there, band fitted in Jan 09, surgeon put in 3ml at opperation then after 6 weeks I had my first infill and the doc put in another 3ml, so im now up to 6ml in a 10ml band, is this alot to have put in, in such a short time ????, im feeling ok, have restriction, but some days i coould eat everything, I dont though im very good:tongue_smilie:, one day I can eat then the next day im not hungry atall, is this right ??. I go away in 3 weeks long haul to the states so they wont give me a fill untill I come back, im loosing 1-2lb a week still so I dont think I need a fill just yet, but want to loose this weight so badly, so far lost 28lbs in 7 weeks and need to loose another 28lb to get to target, start weight 186lbs target 126lbs, think this will be ard as i dont have that much to loose. thanks xxxx

saundersd, it sounds like you are having a fantastic weightloss. 1-2 pounds / week is great. Keep on doing whatever the hell it is you're doing, because it's working for you, sister!!

BTW, don't concern yourself much with how much "fill" you have in you. Everybody is soooo different that it's a very subjective thing. Picture two joggers.....one is a successful veteran while the other is a newbie. Newbie turns to the veteran jogger and asks "Hey, you're doing great. I'd like to have some of that success. What size shoes do you wear?" In the end, it doesn't matter one bit, as long as it's doing the job.

      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. 🤞
