Recommended Posts

i posted this in the main forum i am posting again here

i had my surgery 22nd of february ..

16cc band

lost 9 kgs in the first month ..

had first fill 4cc end f march

second fill 2cc end of april ..

since then i lost 9 more kilos ..

so 18 kgs (39 lbs) in 4 months

i went to have my third fill as i lost alot of abdominal fat and i feel i can eat more ..was partially restricted too

2 weeks ago i felt little tension in my port site ..wasnt a big deal

went today so the dr wanted to make sure there is no leak .. and wanted to unfill . the whole cc in the band then fill it again ..

but he couldnt get in .. after trying .. he found out it was partially flipped .. i read this happens in some people after losing abdominal fat

so he could reach it if i sleep on my right side and ..removed all 6 cc

then started filling again .. i choked .. and vomited even Water afterward

he had to remove 2cc so now i have only 4cc in the band and i feel water while passing ..on Fluid diet right now

how come i cant withstand the same 6 cc that were previously in the band??? what changed after the unfill !!

then now will 4 cc be enough

and afterwards .. do i have to go to a surgery for the flip thing??

i am having barium meal after tomorooow .. and he wants to check the placement of the band

i hope someone help me

i am really distressed

      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.
