I agree. Its like a test. You can feel every part of whatever it is you are eating and hope its ok....I go for fill #2 on monday. He dosent use anything to numb me and I have asked for it, but he just wont.. It hurts so much, but I guess its worth it...

The second fill worked out great, wish I'd done it sooner. The first bite is always a mental challenge.

bypass vs. banding???

I think it depends on you. I was banded on Dec 23, 08. I have lost 18lbs and have 80 to go...I have a friend who also has the choice. I let her feel where my port is (and you can feel this thing inside of you) and she freaked. There is also more care needed with the band. You have to get fills and very carefully watch how you eat, NO drinking 30 minutes before or after your meals. It just depends what you are willing to go through to loose the weight and begin your new life. Gastric bypass has way more side effects too...I wish I would have gone bypass...:blushing: -
Hi Llynn. I was banded the same day as you and yes. I too get hiccups when I get full. How is your weight loss going? I have only lost 18lbs and with 1 4cc fill, I still have no restriction...Im so discouraged.

Hi. I was banded on Dec 23, 08 and have lost 18 lbs.. Help. I hope the second fill adds some restriction because I have to fight temptation every minute. Have you had any restriction yet?
-
Hi Cali. Im about 58 days post op and have only lost 18 lbs. Im so discouraged. I walk or ride bikes daily. I watch my diet and yet, I feel like I just can't get the weight to come off. I go for my second fill on Feb 23, 08 so I hope that helps because I feel no restriction....Lets home. Bonnie

Hay Becky. It does not make my shakey. I sometimes forget to eat on them. They also give you a natural feeling energy. I just think its sad that we go through this surgery and still have to take diet pills for hunger..Talk to you soon

Hi Bonnie. I too had a hard time with hunger after the fill because of the liquid diet for 2 days then the soft for another 2. Does the phendymetrozine really help? Does it make you shaky? I may have to look into that. I got the band Dec 08 and have only lost 20lbs. The scale has NOT moved in a month. I need a kick start:)
Take Care. Becky
