How do YOU feel when YOU are full?
graceysnema replied to MelAnne's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
full is when you are more thatn satifified. so different than normal. or mayabe when you get 1 bite or golf ball issue it is then either way full is full and learn to enjoy the one or 2 bites instead of whole cake. i cant believe how your brain and stomach is involved. once you find restriction it took me 3 fills but when it happens you will know and i hope i can use this tool as long as it will let me good success donna texas -

hey today i went for my 3rd fill with spivak. this is what i have learned. the new tech works on wednesday. i think i will only go to her from now on she really took time to listen. she took exrays before to make sure my pouch was not stretched. i had 1.8 and after begging she gave me 2.4 i say lets get the show on the road and start loosing. she also gave me a few tips that i did totally wrong. i was under the empression that if i ate soup and lots of water, drinks. the weigt would coem off. but she explaine that soups go straight through and that is why i have restricition and hunger. so it is protein and veg. since i only lost .2 pounds in 3 weeks. also the nurse and tech said spivak will fill you ever 3 weeks if you follow the rules. i am excited again . i was wondering if i had made a mistake.

i had united health care i used spivak in houston my policy went forward and approved in 5 days. and it only cost me a copay of 30 dollars. i am not for sure if we have same policy or not why dont you call dr. spival and get his office to help.

i too used spivak. he does not put anything in your band until the 30 days so you are doing this with no restriction. only because your stomach was swollen. he filled me at 24 days the first fill . i had lost 7 lbs. today i went for the 2nd fill after 3 weeks. i can really!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! tell the difference this time. it is like night and day. you don't even want to eat. donna i am form livingston where are you from?
