It's been quite sometime since I've posted. I just had my band removed on 1/15/14, So much painful than having it put in. I have been having terrible reflux issues and have had the band completely unfilled for the last 2 years. I will soon start the process for the sleeve to be done, hoping my insurance will approve it.

I am in Suffolk county. I use Dr. Edward Cussatti in West Islip and think he is great, but he charges $100.00 per fill.

I just got my 3rd fill last week for a total of 4cc in a 10cc band. My doctor would only give me a half cc fill. I feel a little restriction, but definitely need another fill. My doctor makes you wait a whole month before he will give you another fill. Maybe this last fill will help me get through over my plateau.:crying:
-
Grrrrrrhh..I was really hoping my 2nd fill would give me some restriction. I have 3.5cc in a 10cc band. My doctor will not give more than 1cc at a time once a month, at this rate I think it will take forever.:cursing:
-
I went for my 2nd fill today and I am now at 3.5cc in a 10cc band. I am praying to feel restriction because up till now I have had none. I am able to eat anything. Hope this fill does give me at least a little restriction.

Just had my second fill today and now I am at 3.5cc in 10cc band.

Sleeping with the Band

Actually I was banded the same day as you and last night I sleep on my stomach. It does get better! -
hey Amanda, I only told my mother, grandmother, best friend and boyfriend. I think I will tell more people as I lose the weight.

Hi everyone! Well I am banded. Yesterday I came out of the OR very, very nauseous. Gas pain was extremely bad yesterday, but okay today. I cant say that much for where my port incision is, wow is that sore.

Thank you for the encouragement TexsT, I know liquids for a week wasn't that bad but clear liquids I could of done without.

Day one of clear liquids, what a nightmare! I have such a headache and I am so hungry. I am so thankful that I only have one more day of clear liquids before surgery. I have to be at the hospital at 5:30am on wednesday the 26th.

Today I just completed my second day of liquids. So far, so good. I am even down 3lbs. Only have 3 more days of liquids and 2 days of clear. I give you the people credit who have to do 2wks or more of liquid. I'm starving!:embaressed_smile:

Good luck! Keep us posted.
