Are your fills done under Fluoroscopy, or Standard way?
avilla22 replied to 54Shirley's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doctor does both. Every other one is a standard fill. He does not numb the site either. -

A question for anyone who cheated on their pre- op diet

Your liver should be fine. I know some people that didn't even have to do a pre-op diet.. -

Banded on May 18 and feeling surprisingly good
avilla22 replied to The Dora Milaje's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded on May 18th also. I'm lucky I didn't have much incision pain and the gas pain was minimal. I have to be on clear liquids for a week before I can go to full liquids. I'm not having any problems swallowing my liquids. The protein shakes I'm on are called Necter. I really like the cappiccino one. Another good one is called Matrix Milk Chocolate by Syntrax its really good. Taste just like chocolate milk. -
I was banded on Wed. everything went great. The pain wasnt to bad. I did have some gas pain yesterday but today I feel great. A little bit of incision pain but it is very minimal. Over all everything went great.

I am going to be banded on the 18th also and i have to do the 10 day diet also but mine consist of 2 protein shakes and 1 small meal ( a small piece of meat and some non starch veggies ) and the last 2 days will be liquid only. Hope this helps..Good luck to you on your surgery.
