On the fence......

I was banded at the beginning of May. Things were going great and I was losing well until I had a revision at the end of July. Luckily they didn't take any of my fill out, but I have basically been the same weight since. I go in for a fill next week and I have no idea if I should get one. I still have quite a bit of restriction when I eat. I am still on limited exersise. Anyone been here before?

What do you mean you had a revision? That refers to a change to a different WLS. Or maybe a band replacement. Why are you on limited exercise and if you have quite a bit of restriction why are you going in next week for a fill? What are you eating each day? Are you on a full diet? Sorry for all the questions but your post doesn't provide a lot of information.

My port came unhooked so they had to go back in and reattach. I am back to limited exercise because they want to make sure I am completely healed.

Eating decently. Usually Cream of wheat, Yogert, or a Protein shake for Breakfast. lunch I do salad, or Soup. dinner is usually chicken, or deli rollups(cheese and ham rolled up).

This is an appointment that was made before my surgery, wondering what is causing my stall and if I should go or if I should cancel.

I am sure you will discuss all of this with your doctor next week and he/she will be able to give you some advice. You might still be healing from the port re-attachment and the fill will have to wait. How many cc's do you have in your band? What size band do you have? It sounds like your eating is okay. You might just need a little more time and to step up your exercise when you are healed. Good luck.
