When should I have my first fill?



Recommended Posts

Thanks Pam! I haven't updated the profile in a bit but thanks for looking :smile: My first fill I had too much restriction and had a cc taken out. I've since had 2 fills, the first with another 1/2 cc and I had that for 2 months and then just last Monday I got another 3/4cc fill and now I'm too tight again! Urgh! I guess I'm ultra sensitive. I have 6 3/4cc now in a 14 cc band.....but I'm back in on Monday to have some taken out. I'm back to not being able to keep solids down so I'm on liquids. I've lost about 6 pounds this week but it's not very fun! I hate to see you suffer something like that on your vacation! I'm hoping the if he just takes out 1/4-1/2 cc I will be at the perfect spot!!!! :scared2: I'm getting married August 14th and will be gone a week on my honeymoon....if I did need another fill I defenitly won't be getting that till after my honeymoon :tt2:

Thanks again Pam and enjoy your vacation!

Congratulations on your wedding! Where are you going on your honeymoon? Sorry you are having issues with your band again, hopefully this next adjustment will be just right. I have no idea what size band I have, are their very many commonly used sizes? I am feeling better about waiting, I think I mostly just needed to come to a decision and get my mind around it. Thanks for your input! Pam

Thanks Pam! We are going to the Oregon Coast for our honeymoon. Going to a little beach town called Pacific City! It's really beautiful there! My Aunt and Uncle have a house at the beach that they have offered us to stay....it's really nice! We can't wait! I hope I'll get to the right adjustment Monday! I think there are some people with older band who have smaller one...I think they are 5cc, then I've heard of a 10cc then the one I have 14cc. Not sure if that's all....but that's what I've heard of. If you just got banded it's probably a 10 or 14cc band.

I'm glad the imput helped you with your decision! Good luck with everything!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
