Can't get fills - am I relying on band too much?
evybk replied to noahsmomm's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Well i feel like your telling my story. I had my band late june of this year so i'm 10 weeks out this fri. I have had two fills that i have had to beg my dr. For he now tells me he does not like to give them very often even though his letutre says he gives them every two weeks as needed when i sighned with him. Unfortunatlly i have alot of family members and friends that would benifit from the procedure but i can't seem to give them encourging news since i to have only lost 20 lbs and am hungery all the time. I feel like i am on a strick diet and told my dr. That. So my husband and i will be going this sat to talk to him and see what we can come up with. I don't like how at first he seemed very aggrisive about what i would be getting with the band and now nothing. With that said my husband , niece, and cousin has backed out of getting they'res. And that is sad because my husband has health issuses do to his weight. So i am fustrated to say the least not to mention we spent a whole hell of alot of money to get this done. We also have two friends that had the band and each have lost lost and lost weight but they went with another dr. -
Trying to hang in there i go back to my dr this week hope he will give me another fill. And no i don't excersize i guess i should start.

Going back to my dr this friday hope i can get another fill i just want the feeling of not being so hungry

Thanks, for the info. I go back to my dr. This fri. To talk to him with my hubby. Hopefully we will come up with something i feel happy with. I only have 1.75 cc in so hoping for at least icc. We'll see

I to was banded on a friday and went back to work on mon. I work as an office manager for an a/c company, so it wasn't to bad. I will tell you i was so ready to go home at the end of the day . I was very tired. Other then that it was okay. I had my surgery in late june of this year.

My dr. Seems to be a bit conservative he did not even want to give me one at four weeks he asked me if i could wait i told him sure if i wanted to feel hungry 24/7 and i thought that is why i had this done. So i go back aug 17 to get mor fill i hope he understands i want it cause i am getting hungry
-
Yea, i thought that to i would be lucky and not have to have any fills or at least not that many i go again on aug 17 for another one i just seem to be hunger and i want to find that sweet spot people talk about . I am at the point i can't wait till the next time i can eat and for that i would just be a one heck of a strick diet like i have done half my life i dont want to fell that hungry. I guess you are from tx being your user name . I too iam from tx tomball area

Yea its hard not to et discouraged i go aug 17th for my 2nd fill cant wait i just want to find that sweet spot?
