scurrr

I had my third fill in 17 months. I don't really tolerate them well. The last fill I had, the doctor could only put 0.25ml of fluid in my band about 6 months ago. I hadn't lost any weight, so he put in 0.5ml last friday. I did ok for the first 3 days, then my band slowly closed up and I couldn't even swallow my own spit. I went Wednesday night and had 0.75ml, my last 2 fills removed. I feel much better now, but I feel like I've taken 2 steps back. I don't want to put any weight on. Has this happened to anyone else, not tolerating the fills?????:wink:

It sounds like me in the morning. I can't drink anything cold or it comes back, but if I start with broth or tea everything else goes down smooth after that.

Jorge. I did the same thing. I kept putting off my last appoinment because I had gained 10 lbs. I finally said screw it, I'm going. It's better to go to the surgeon and talk with him. Get a fill if you need it. I have a food addiction also, probably like all bandsters. My surgeon wasn't mad. I just got a fill and a lot of encouragement from him.

Looks like you're loosing at at good rate. You don't want too much restriction all at once. Your body will get used to it and you'll have no where to go.

I had severe pain, especially my port site and back for about 1 1/2 weeks. I was banded 8/31/07 and my port site is still tender.

I was banded 8/31/07 and had my first fill today. removed 1.5cc from band and filled with 3cc(10cc band). I have been working on the same bottle of Fuze all day. It feels like it's going down too slow. No vomitting though. Is this what it's supposed to feel like?:rolleyes

I lasted 3 days on the pre-op diet. Then went on a 2 week binge. I had an enlarged fatty liver from and ultrasound. I did great with my surgery though. My surgeon said there is a high risk of failure for people who don't follow the pre-op diet. I was banded 8/31/07 and have lost 33lbs now. Just had my first fill yesterday. Haven't really felt hungry yet.

Thanks. Started back with mushies today. Doing well!!!
