3 Fills So Far And Still Hungry Between Meals
Ric replied to cbreeden28's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I have pretty much the same problem but have 9.5cc in a 14cc band. In the last month in a half I have fluctuated in weight 2 to 4 lbs. One thing I have found out about to do when you get a fill is not just sip the liquid but to take a big gulp and swallow hard. When I take a small sip and just swallow I appears to not want to go through but a big gulp and swallow hard seems to show it is going through with no problems. Hope I helped -
Apparently I must do this as I have not lost a lb in over a month! 8.5cc in a 14cc band! Its driving me NUTS!!!

My name is Tim, surgery 6/30/2011, By Dr. Jenson in Yuma AZ. Total Loss is 32 lbs including pre-op diet. Just some minor problems with eating as it seems the restriction is not so bad except for 2 episodes when food would not go down and 5 or 10 mins later it would come back up! I have gained a couple lbs and hope the 1st fill on 8/15 will help!

Get this done ASAP as I was reading an article yesterday that over $363million was spent on dependants an Retiries having some sort of Bariatric Surgery! With the economy of today and cutting benifits I would not be suprized if Tricare will stop authorizing these type of elective surgeries. If you have noticed Tricare Prime went up already. I have been retired from the Marine Corps for 10 years. I am glad that my surgery was done in June!

I enjoy Vodka Water with lemon! But if I drink more than 2 its not good couse I'll drink 6 or 8! But I do get drunk easy!

The same thing happened to me! I am betting as bloated as I felt that my belly was twice as big as normal! And the Gas pain was unbearable until about 5 or 6 days after surgery!
