How Much Saline @ First Fill?



Recommended Posts

I was banded on 7/15/10. My doc puts in 3cc at first. I have a 10 cc band. I just went for my first adjustment on Monday. He put 1 cc in the band. No fluro, just the Water test. I am feeling a little more restriction, but I think I might have a ways to go. Good luck to all!

My doc said that I could eat normally before I go in for my fills... just not to stuff myself.

I got 4ccs on my first fill yesterday. I asked how he decides and he smiled and said, "experience." When I was leaving, the nurse said that my doc was a little aggressive with the first fill but that the pay off would be good - MY FINGERS ARE CROSSED! I am scheduled to go back on September 13.

      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.
