Hi! I have about 7.5 cc's in my 10 cc band and still have VERY LITTLE restriction! I don't understand. Could there be something wrong with my band? I haven't had ANY complications at all. I had the band put in last September but have only managed to lose 40 lbs. He takes the fluid out and measures each time I get a fill so it's in there. I'm not sure what to do/think. Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks!

I'm excited for you! I hope you have a good experience with it all....you'll have to keep me updated! I felt the same way about the saggy skin issue!
Hey, what part of Cali are you from? I've visited there a few times. My aunt used to live in the Bay area in Oakley - not Oakland.

24 pounds is great! Today I go for my post op, my surgery is on Friday, Nov. 14th. I'm so EXCITED! I know weight loss is going to go significantly slow with the Realize band I'm getting, but I am ok with that...I'm super afraid of having too much saggy skin from sudden weight loss, I'd rather lose it slowly and workout, so that my body has enough time to keep up and become more firm as I lose the weight. Wish me luck sista'!!!

Hi Lisa! I'm Missy, 30 and single from Tennessee. I don't have children either unless you count my 2 dogs! I had surgery on September 2nd. So far the experience has been great....no complications or anything! My weight loss has been slow but steady (down 24 lbs) and I'm ok with that! You can yell at me anytime!! -
After surgery...fill experiences
missymoo78 replied to creed2474's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi there! I had my first fill week before last and everything went A-Ok. Since it was my first, they actually did it at the hospital in the GI lab under fluoro (sp?). My surgeon came in and done it for me. He was right on time which was excellent. He numbed the area, told me to elevate my legs slightly so he could find my port and he did on first try. Then he'd give me a little bit and then let me drink a sip of barium so he could watch and check everything out. I ended up w/ 3.5 cc's, it was totally painless, and it was cool because he let me watch everything on the screen (I like stuff like that)! I was in and out in like 30 minutes and then went back to work. No complaints at all! I've had a REALLY good experience so far with everything! I feel very lucky! -
I am 15 days post op and I am having the HARDEST time trying not to drink while I eat (especially if I'm eating anything starchy). I make myself do it, but then about 30 minutes after I eat I can drink a gallon! Why is it again that we shouldn't drink and eat?? This so far has been the hardest thing for me.

questions about soft, "mushie" foods

I am too in the mushie phase and I've been eating all of the above except for the hamburger (I didn't know I could have that, but I'm glad to hear it!). I've also been eating baked potatoes and chili. I am sooooo ready for some solid food! This weekend I can start introducing some. Restlessmonkey, have you started on solids? What do you recommend starting with? I've been really craving some grilled chicken! LOL -
Ok, so when my insurance approved my surgery at the end of July my surgeon said I had to be off of my birth control for 30 days before I could have my band put in. I am assuming that has something to do with fear of blood clotting or something. The problem is that I have been sooooo moody the past couple of weeks! :cursing: I've been so ill AND....I've been starving, which has REALLY screwed up my pre-op diet! Has anyone had this experience and does anyone know when/if I can start back after surgery? Thanks

I am also having mine done on the 2nd! Good luck to all of us!!

Looking for new friends. Waiting for surgery.

MeMommie, Apparently not a 2 week. I have to go see the surgeon on the 28th and I'm thinking he may put me on one then. I hope not! But he may very well since I haven't been successful in losing the 10 lbs he wanted me to. I will let you know what he says.
