I had my surgery on March 8, 2010:thumbup:. I had my second fill in May for a total of 4cc's. My problem is after the second fill I started burping constantly. I mean from the time I wake up in the morning until I go to bed! I called and spoke to nurse and she said if I could live with it, it should not be a problem. (the reason we came to this decision is because I was moving from Ohio to Florida and I knew it would be hard to find a doctor here who take me on for a few months, now I am not sure if my job contract will be renewed for me to go back to OH). Well the problem I am having is I can only take a few bites of food before I throwing up! No matter what I eat, it comes back up and I am not losing any weight:thumbdown:. Should I try to look for a doctor here or is this something that I am going to have to go through?...

Also, how much should I be eating anyway?

Where about are you located here in Florida? You need a Dr. here to follow you and there are plenty of them. sound like too much restriction to me.

I always thought bandster hell is when your eating too much!

It sounds like you need a little of an unfill. I have 6cc in a 10cc band and I am able to eat anything, I don't have to chew everything into tiny bites and I stay full for the amount of time I am suppose to. I lost 4 pounds this week, so its working. I dont ever want my band to be so tight that my food is coming back up. I would maybe switch to liquids until you can get into your docs office. Its not something you just have to go threw.

I can tell you because it happened to me this past week, I had my 3rd fill. They put 1 cc in to bring me up to 6.1 and that night I started burping non-stop, had the hiccups and was throwing up constantly. I went in the next day and had them remove some of the fill. It was like instant relief.

You do not want to go with too much fill, think about getting it adjusted and you will have more success.

I am Tampa, and I am currently looking for a doctor now, so far the ones I have been in contact with have said they like to have patients they did they surgery on, rather than taking on someone else's patient. I am waiting to hear from my doctor in Ohio. They are trying to find someone for me too!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
