    Need advice

    I will have to say that I am so disapointed in the lap band! I really thought that this was going to help me and so far it is not. I got banded Aug 26 and got my first fill and second fill in oct. My first fill was I believe 6cc and it did nothing. I went back and the nurse practioner was aprehensive about filling me more so she only have me 1.5cc So far I am not noticing much of anything. There are a few foods that I feel like I cant eat cause they make me choke but other then that I can still eat too much! I thought this band was going to make me feel full, I thought I was going to only be able to eat a few bites. My surgeon tells me to measure my food and eat less and if I had to damn will power to do that i wouldnt have gotten the band in the first place. I am so bummed. No weight loss nothing. I just dont wanna live like this anymore. Needed to vent thanks!

    It has been forever!

    Wow someone I can relate too. I thought I was crazy. I have a really hard time eating breakfast and most of the time lunch but generally I feel no restrictions at dinner. I thought I was crazy or something. I am still disapointed in my band cause I am not losing anything I really thought that I would have better luck with this but at least I know someone elses band is "weird" like mine.

    fill or no fill...confused

    I kind of am in the same boat. I got my band aug 26th and my first fill was 6 cc and the next was 1.5cc so I am at 7.5cc I have lost NO weight. Some times I feel restrictions like when I tried to eat scrambled egs for breakfast but then I was able to eat two pieces of pizza for lunch I usually feel restriction at breakfast and lunch but not dinner. I am so bummer and dont really know what to do. My surgeon acts like my band is just fine.

  7. So I got the best news ever last Friday when I called my insurance company and I was approved for my lap band surgery!!! I am getting really nervous and very excited all at the same time. I started my liquid diet today and it has really really sucked. I am hoping that each day will get easier and eventually I hope I stop thinking about the food. It is so hard to make my kids bfast, lunch, and dinner without eating. I have had to just remember the ultimate reward will pay off. Any suggestions on getting through the liquid diet phase before surgery????

    Got my Ins Approval and Started my liquid diet

    Thanks for all the comments. I am on day 5 of my preop liquid diet and its getting better. I am not hungry and for the first time in 25 years I am not thinking about food all day long. I am really sick to my stomach and having bathroom issues but I have to keep telling myself its all worth it. Positive is that I have lost 12.3 pounds in 4 days!

    Waiting for my 6 mothe pre req to be done!

    I have not gotten the surgery yet :wub: Bummer. I have to go through 6 months supervised diet with my doctor as a pre req from my ins. I have my month 5 appt june 25th so I am getting closer! I am getting a little nervous. Not about the surgery but more about my ins pulling something funny and denying the surgery. I will be completely devestated. I have been doing a bunch of pre op tests and other things so I already have a lot of money into all this. I am sure a million people have been in my position before!! Just wanted to blog a bit before I started to look over the site!
