Bad first fill experiences??
czarina replied to mjbf's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
my first fill was pretty much the same... he put 4 cc's in my band then took the needle out and told me to drink water. i couldnt even drink the water so i had to lay back down and he couldnt find the port the second time.. he stuck me around 20 times no numbing just my doc and the needle.. my port started bleeding and blood was going into the needle.. he took out .5cc s and im at my sweet spot.. it wasnt that bad... the next day i was fine just a lil pain at the port side and bruising.. i love my doc and just because we had difficulties this one time doesnt make me wanna change docs.... -

hey gurl im sorry to hear that ur daughter isnt feeling so well. i was banded on oct 28th. n e ways im down 54 pounds from the begining of this journey... i had one fill so i think i have around 4.5 cc's in my band and i am just like you.. i can eat more then i want to. i went in to get another fill but my doc said no.. i was staying full for 3 or 4 hours after each meal so he said im doing great.. i told him i can eat a lot more now and he said why am i eating that much... my reply was umm because i love food and it taste soo good. so basiclly he told me to eat half cup meals and just stop right there.. its really self control.. i eat out of small bowls... fill up half cup worth of whatever food i want and that is it... i find myself eating sometimes even when im not hungry and thats my problem.. but i am still loosing because i am active.. i do not go to the gym but i am constantly cleaning wen im at home and constantly moving around wen im at work.. i know if i was to work out i would loose more faster.. my advice to you is to just hang in there. carry around a half cup bowl and wen you sit down to eat just put what you want to eat in that bowl... and if it dont fit then dont eat it... and only eat wen your hungry... -
ok so yesterday i went in to get another fill. my last fill was 7 weeks ago and it was my first fill. i have a total of 3.5 ccs in my band now.. n e ways i wanted a new fill cuz i gained 3 pounds and the weight wasnt really comming off.. it felt like i needed the fill to start loosing again.. well i went in and my doctor shut me down.. basiclly he said that i was doing very good. he said i shud be happy wit my weight loss cuz i lost 50 pounds since my surgery which was 3 months ago.. i told him that im just really serious about this and i want to loose all of my weight asap.. aahhh... basiclly he said no fill and get my ass to the gym.. let me remind u that these was his exact words... haha military doctors rule..
