    Not filled yet, and very upset

    I had gotten this information already. The nurse was contradicting him. I am goign for counceling and finally found a support that meets 2x's a month, so I know I'm doing things right. the band works is a device that needs to be filled to reach optimum weight loss too!!! Not just the "mental discipline". The fills and the brain are supposed to work together, not one over the other as the nurce "implied".

    Not filled yet, and very upset

    I was watching Dr. Phil. Sorry for the dalay!! I was told that as long as I was following the reccommended post op diet that the Dr. would not fill the band and that I was not supposed to request for the band to be filled. My research tells me otherwise! These answers were coming from his nurse, no less. Also She had said that tightening the band is not all it takes to lose the weight. Dah! Why would I be so upset if both my brain and the restriction of the band were working together? Ohh I'm so upset I could scream. :angry However, I know that if gets the best of me I will go on a Binge(what I've been working so hard not to do) I'll be up for another 45 min. Justine
  6. I am 5 1/2 weeks post -op. I'm really hungry:hungry: and was told by my surgeon's nurse I would not be getting a fill at my 2 mo. out appointment. What???:omg: I have like no restriction. That I found out the hard way by trial and error with dry foods like crackers and corn chips. Those were tossed out because I know if I could eat those things, I could eat just about anything. I'm really scared of going back to the old habits do to not feeling the restriction!!! :cryThis is not all "mental" as this nurse portrayed. This is both mental and physical and I thought these were to go hand in hand:confused:? Does anyone know what "undoing the band" means:confused:? Thanks, Justine
