Fill Centers USA ... problems and questions
amella replied to delrio's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I dont ever want to experience getting stuck or bp so i prefer my fills to be conservative. I do agree with you though that they are completely exploiting us in what they are charging for these fills! It is robbery! I wish someone would come along like a walmart (only a quality walmart that does everything correctly and safely) and would charge a reasonable price for fills and put all these other ones out of business or force them to stop robbing us! I totally agree with you on that! Dont worry about the person who is fighting with you about that - who would argue with something like that!!!! What your saying so totally makes sense!!!!! :thumbup: if someone enjoys paying up the ying yang for their fills and argues with what you are saying then maybe they are spoiled brats - id be willing to bet maybe she does'nt have to work for a living. She also happened to mention that all of her fills were free the first year! She certainly seems to have lots of time on her hands to write one reply after another and take over your forum! any hard working person does not have that much time! Just read some more of this forum!!!! Unbelieveable!!! What an abuse of power that is for someone who is a moderater to cause so much friction and drama on someone's forum and take it over and be so emotional!!!! What are you going to do to me now ha? are your going to kick me out for having an opinion about you???!!!! For gosh sake mam! Get more professional!!!! Of course you are always going to have people who are going to come on here and side with you - oooooh cause your a big shot SUPER MODERATER! OOOOOH! Well I happen to disagree with YOU moderater! You going to be a big bully now and kick me out for having an opinion? Im not worried if you do because I have a life and a job! -
I also got banded in november and i had my 2nd fill this monday - i went on 24 hours of liquids like i was told and then after that i had 1 cup of chicken salad and was not full so i called the fill nurse and she thinks that maybe i might of stretched my pouch so she sd i need to go on liquids for a week! to shrink it back down again - she was not very nice or helpfull at all and left me feeling absolutely horrified and afraid of what might be going on - oh and i never eat bread or pasta or anything like that - she did no exrays or anything - but i found a site from the chat room here called 5daypouchtest.com it gives you a 5 day menu designed to shrink your pouch back down in case you might have stretched it and also it is for any bandster who just wants to get back on track again - great recipes. I am doing that right now and I am looking for a new surgeons office to take me on for my fills since this one im dealing with right now is so mean. I hope you will let me know what you find out at your doc office today - please feel free to go into my profile and become my friend! maybe we can help each other through this mess!

hi trenya - i was just banded on 11/14/08 and i went for my 2nd fill on monday and after going on liquids for 24 hours like i was told i then ate a cup of chicken salad and was not full so i called the surgeon office and the fill nurse sd that she thought maybe i might have stretched my pouch - she sd to go on liquids for a week to shrink it back down again - she was not helpfull at all to me though and i found out about a site to go into from my chat buddies here - *** 5daypouchtest.com **** it gives you a specific menu to follow for 5 days to shrink your pouch back down again. and you should never ever ever eat bread - if you had been eating bread you may very well have stretched your pouch. I would like to find out what you did about this and how it helped you or if your surgeons office was any help to you with this problem because i am going through same thing right now and my surgeons office is of no help whatsoever. Hope you will go into my profile and become my friend and keep in touch with me - maybe we can help each other out with this. also chat room is very helpful too:)

One more thing i need to add - many ppl are suggesting to you to get another fill but all the fills in the world are not going to help you if you dont stop eating oatmeal, breads and pizza! You probably already have stretched the pouch above your band and a fill wont help you much with a stretched pouch. you need to change your eating behaviours and shrink that pouch back down before you go get another fill.

Why are you eating oatmeal and bread??? You are never supposed to eat those things with the band. Im surprised you have not stretched the thing out by now and if you keep going on like this you can do irreparable damage. Didnt you have to take a phsycological test before you got this band? You sound so ungrateful. I cant imagine going through all this trouble to have this surgery and refusing to excersize or even walk for 30 minutes a day. If i was denied and i came in here and saw your comments, I would be furious! Thier are so many people who want this band so bad and get denied or dont have the insurance but YOU were lucky enough to get it and your just throwing it away by being defiant and eating whatever you want to anyway. You need to stop complaining and change your course of action. why dont you try 5daypouchtest.com - it is a 5 day plan to get you back on track again. You dont need to have stretched your pouch to go on it - its also designed for ppl like you who have gone off track to get started fresh and new.

Congrats on your surgery and your new baby that baby looks just like you! God bless you on your new journey. You might find the chat room to be very helpful to you. Lots of nice ppl who will help you through this. I was banded this november and the chat room has been a life saver for me. again god bless you and your health and your family on your new life!

I am so sorry about that sweetie. after waiting all weekend long they put you through the torture some more. seems like they should have more than one person who could tell u if ur approved or now - hang in their and realize that if it is gods will it will happen for u and if not then that means he will have a better plan that works better for you.
