So I am now a little more informed... I am going to the doc on monday and a friend is coming with me this time.. we are going to insist that he check the amount of fluid in my band....he charges 200 for each fill so if its not all there I think he should fill me to the right amount for free... at the very least.. I am scared of a leak but if he continues to keep me at a good level even with leak I can wait for revision surgery.... I am more then halfway there..... 35 more pounds to go... yippie!!!! :confused:

has the thicker fluid worked still? I am so afraid that the same problem is happening to me. I only vomited once since surgery but I honestly feel that i have lost fluid these past few weeks... I am petrified and still have so much more to lose...

I am about 7 months post op.... I have lost 51 pounds and have had five fills with about 1cc each. these past couple of weeks I am feeling more hungry then I have been. It has been two months since my last fill and i have an appointment for next week but i dont understand why I am getting so hungry again and why I am able to eat more... Help!!! I am starting to wonder about the doctor.. does he put in disappearing fluid??? not completly joking with that.

Dont assume about the insurance coverage... my family owns an insurance agency and i dont believe united covers it.. call and ask... its excluded out of my most policys... i know i am on bcbs of fl and its excluded.. luckily i was able to find a doc to do it much cheaper then most and was able to come up with the funds... check it out first before you switch companies...

thanx for advice... i have been drinking slimfast and having jello and pudding.. sugar free... i added the cheese eggs on my own... no problem digesting.. i also cheated the other night.. two week celebration i guess and had some grilled salmon that just melted in my mouth... also no problems.... i have no fluid in the band at the moment.. i am not understanding why i cant have mush or chewed really well protein food..... i am going to keep cheating once a day.. i know it... i felt so much better with one small protein meal... had the energy to do things again... i know i am wrong but i just dont trust him anymore(doc). I have had no heartburn or throwing up at all.....

I am so confused... i was banded on the 15th of october. i thought i had done enough research on the band and the doc but i guess not enough. he is so confusing... i did good the first week and even lost 10 pds... the second week i was getting hungry all the time... i tried really hard not to drink too much or anything.. only lost 2 pds... i keep getting hungry all the time and he says no food until my first fill 6-8 weeks post... omg... i dont know if i can wait that long.. is that even healthy... i started cheese eggs on my own and that is good but now i am afraid to tell the doc... so not sure what i should i do.... he ignored my pain after surgery and my not being able to sleep.. i have lost confidence in him and myself at this point... :Yawn:
