2nd fill today- Lost 1cc?



Recommended Posts

So today I had my second fill. Apparently when he aspirated the Fluid he only took out 2cc's. At my first fill he put 1cc in addition to the 2cc's that were already in there. He said that Fluid can hang out in the curves of the band?!?!

I go back in 4 weeks to see if I lost any more fluid. I should have a total of 4cc's but only can account for 3cc's now.

Anyone else experience this problem? Could it be a leak?

Also noticed this A.M. a bruse at my fill site. He really poked around in there this time...

I had the same exact thing... I went back yesterday for another fill and a check and this time only .5cc was missing... he said he was okay with that as long as it wasn't 2-3ccs. I am self pay so I was very nervous it was a leak but he said if it were a slow leak he would just do more frequent fills on me so I wouldn't have to dish out cash for another surgery... He has only had one other person have a leak and she was a self pay too so this is what has been working with her.

      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.
